FIELD OF THE INVENTION

The present invention relates to triazine compounds. More particularly,the invention relates to methods and compositions for making and usingtriazine compounds.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

Synthesis of novel compounds leads to new possibilities for discovery ofnovel therapeutic interventions. By using structure and activityrelationship investigations, compounds can be tailored so that thecompounds have at least one activity that can be predicted from itsstructure. Using high-throughput assays allows for the rapiddetermination of the activity of the newly synthesized compounds.

Novel compounds for new therapeutic interventions are needed for manyareas of medicine and disease treatment. For example, chronic and acuteinflammatory conditions form the basis for diseases affecting all organsystems including, but not limited to, asthma, acute inflammatorydiseases, vascular inflammatory disease, chronic inflammation,atherosclerosis, angiopathy, myocarditis, nephritis, Crohn's disease,arthritis, type I and II diabetes and associated vascular pathologies.The incidence of these inflammatory conditions is on the rise in thepopulation as a whole, with diabetes alone affecting 16 million people.

While inflammation in and of itself is a normal immune response, chronicinflammation leads to complications and ongoing system damage due to theinteractions of unknown cellular factors. In particular, chronicinflammation can cause endothelial damage resulting in vascularcomplications. Coronary artery, cerbrovascular and peripheral vasculardisease resulting from atherosclerotic and thromboembolicmacroangiopathy are the primary causes of mortality in chronicinflammatory diseases.

Many humans and animals have limited lifespans and lifestyles because ofconditions relating to lifestyle choices, such as diet and exercise, orbecause of genetic predispositions to develop a disease. For example,vascular smooth muscle cell proliferation is a common consequence ofendothelial injury and is believed to be an early pathogenetic event inthe formation of atherosclerotic plaques or complications related tovascular injury or as a result surgical interventions. Abnormal vascularsmooth muscle cell (SMC) proliferation is thought to contribute to thepathogenesis of vascular occlusive lesions, including arteriosclerosis,atherosclerosis, restenosis, and graft atherosclerosis after organtransplantation.

Percutaneous coronary artery intervention (PTCA) procedures are the mostcommon in-patient hospital procedure in the United States. According tothe American Heart Association, about one-third of the patients thatundergo balloon angioplasty have restenosis of the widened segment ofthe vessel within approximately 6 months. It may be necessary to performanother angioplasty or coronary artery bypass surgery on restenosedarteries. A key feature of restenosis is an injury response that resultsin activation of an inflammatory cascade and remodeling of the cellsboth inside and outside the carotid artery wall. This includes excessivegrowth of connective tissue and smooth muscle into the lumen of theartery known as neointimal hyperplasia. Currently there are no effectivepharmacological treatments available that control the pathogenesis ofvascular occlusive lesions, such as, but not limited to,arteriosclerosis, atherosclerosis, restenosis, and graft atherosclerosisafter organ transplantation. Identification of effective therapeuticswith minimal side effects will restore quality of life without requiringadditional surgical procedures such as coronary artery bypass surgery.

Control or modulation of factors produced by the body in response toinjury, surgery, metabolic factors or loss of control of in feedbackmechanisms, leading to too much or too little of a factor has long beenthe goal of administering pharmacological agents. One disease thatrapidly growing in the industrialized countries is the occurrence ofdiabetes and all of its attendant sequellae. One of the factorsimportant in the damage associated with diabetes is the presence ofglycated proteins.

Glycated proteins and advanced glycation end products (AGE) contributeto cellular damage, particularly, diabetic tissue injury, by at least bytwo major mechanisms; modulation of cellular functions throughinteractions with specific cell surface receptors, and alteration of theextracellular matrix leading to the formation of protein cross-links.Studies suggest that glycated protein and AGE interactions with cellsmay promote inflammatory processes and oxidative cellular injury. AGEincreases lipoprotein oxidisability and atherogenicity. Its binding tomatrix proteins induces synthesis of cytokines and activates cellularmessangers. Diseases where glycated protein and AGE accumulation is asuspected etiological factor include vascular complications of diabetes,microangiopathies, renal insufficiency and Alzheimer's disease.

The exact mechanisms by which high plasma glucose, as seen in diabetes,causes microvascular damage are not completely understood. One potentialmechanism by which hyperglycemia can be linked to microangiopathies isthrough the process of non-enzymatic glycation of critical proteins.Non-enzymatic glycation, i.e. the linking of proteins with glucose,leads to the formation of glycated proteins. The first step in thisglycation pathway involves the non-enzymatic condensation of glucosewith free amino groups in the protein, primarily the epsilon-aminogroups of lysine residues, forming the Amadori adducts. These earlyglycation products can undergo further reactions such as rearrangements,dehydration and condensations to form irreversible advanced glycationend products (AGE). These are a highly reactive group of molecules whoseinteraction with specific receptors on the cell-surface which arethought to lead to pathogenic outcomes.

Other major area of disease of where treatments are needed and for whichadequate and effective therapies do not exist are cellular proliferativedisorders, or disorders caused by unwanted or unintended cellulargrowth. As mentioned, smooth muscle cell (SMC) hyperplasia is a majorevent in the development of atherosclerosis and is also responsible forthe significant number of failure rates following vascular proceduressuch as angioplasty, stent implantation and coronary artery bypasssurgery. In the normal vessel, SMC are quiescent, but they proliferatewhen damage to the endothelium occurs. Naturally occurring growthmodulators, many of which are derived from the endothelium, tightlycontrol SMC proliferation in vivo. When the control becomes unregulated,a pathological state is induced in the subject.

Another major area of unwanted cellular growth, that is unchecked by thebody's regulatory systems, is cancer or oncological conditions. Manytherapies have been used and are being used in an effort to restorehealth or at least stop the unwanted cell growth. Many times,therapeutic agents can have an effect individually, but often,therapeutic regimes require combinations of different pharmacologicalagents with treatments such as surgery or radiation.

There is a present need for treatments of chronic or acute diseases,such as atherosclerosis, unwanted cellular growth or cellularproliferation, diabetes, inflammatory conditions and vascular occlusivepathologic conditions, because occurrence is frequent, the currentlyavailable treatments are costly and the conditions are refractory tomany pharmacological therapies. The mechanisms involved in the controlor prevention of such diseases are not clear and there exists a need forpreventive and therapeutic treatments of these and other diseases Thus,what is presently needed are novel compounds that find utility inmethods and compositions for treatment and prevention of chronic andacute diseases.

Preparation of the Focused Library of Compounds

Many of the compounds of this invention were prepared in a parallelsynthetic procedure according to the methods described below. Examplesof compounds prepared by the parallel synthesis techniques are providedin Table 2. These preparations involve reacting the individual aminecompounds (monomers) with cyanuric chloride, which are also presented inTable 2, along with the chemical structures of compounds prepared by theparallel synthesis methods.

A library of compounds was synthesized according to the presentinvention to afford substituted N²,N⁴,N⁶-tris(amino)-1,3,5-triazines, asfollows. The design of the compound library was based primarily onstructure 95 shown below. That is, the design of theN²,N⁴,N⁶-tris(amino)triazines was focused so that only one of thependant amino groups (N^(A), N^(B), or N^(C) in the structure above) waschanged during each synthesis, while the other two groups were heldconstant. The combination of the specific amines employed produced alibrary of compounds of novel composition. Initially, the library wasdeveloped using methyl-(1-methyl-piperidin-4-yl)-amine, holding thecycloheptyl and m-fluoroanisidyl groups constant (in structure 95below). The synthesis of the triazines aroundmethyl-(1-methyl-piperidin-4-yl)-amine was not optimized, and the aminewas subsequently replaced with (1-ethyl-pyrrolidin-2-yl)-methylaminewhich provided a more tractable synthesis.

The library of N²,N⁴,N⁶-tris(amino)-1,3,5-triazines was prepared basedon the strategy of changing only one pendant amino group per synthesis,and based on the parent structure 95 shown above. The library wasdivided into three subgroups: Libraries I, II, and III (shown in Table2). Library I includes compounds having unchanged N^(B) and N^(C) groupsbut different N^(A) groups (6). The pendant amino group N^(A) waschanged according to the specific examples listed below. Library IIincludes compounds having unchanged N^(A) and N^(C) groups and differentN^(B) groups (7). Pendant amino group N^(B) was changed according to thespecific examples listed below. Library III includes compounds havingunchanged N^(A) and N^(B) groups and different N^(C) groups (8). Thependant amino group N^(C) was changed according to the specific exampleslisted below.

The N²,N⁴,N⁶-tris(amino)-1,3,5-triazine compound structures that arepresented in Tables 2 and following were generated using ISIS-Draw™version 2.4.0.20, and were generated with the option to displayunspecified hydrogen atoms if not shown, however, not all hydrogen atomswere displayed in the structures shown. In all structures presented inany text, table, scheme or figure herein, any hydrogen atoms that arerequired for any atom to attain its usual valence, whether a carbon atomor a heteroatom, should be inferred if it is not specifically indicatedin a structure.

One method of preparation of the compounds is shown in the scheme below.The compounds were prepared by reacting cyanuric chloride sequentiallywith monomers of primary or secondary amines to afford the desired1,3,5-triazine derivatives [1,2,3,4]. Thus, the amine starting compoundsthat are used to react with cyanuric chloride are termed “monomers.” TheN²,N⁴,N⁶-tris(amino-substituted)-1,3,5-triazines were prepared withoutthe need for purification between each step of the synthesis, and thefinal product was isolated by standard procedures. Purification wasaccomplished using flash column chromatography as needed. It is withinthe skill of the art of organic synthesis to prepare, isolate and purifythese organic compounds described herein, and to modify the synthesesshown. For example, it is possible to synthesize the compounds of thepresent invention by using an excess of any monomers of primary orsecondary amines in any of the three steps shown in Scheme 1, such thatthe excess monomer, serves as both substituent for the triazine core, aswell as a base, in which case i-Pr₂NEt base can be excluded.

The pendant amino groups can be substituted by functional groupsdepicted as R₁ to R₆ groups in Scheme 1. The degree of functionality ofa pendant amino group is determined by the structure and complexity ofthe amine monomer, and will affect the overall molecular diversity ofthe N²,N⁴,N⁶-tris(amino-substituted)-1,3,5-triazines. A wide range ofamine monomers may be used in this invention. Once bonded to thetriazine core, the pendant amino groups can be described as secondary ortertiary substituted, depending on the degree of substitution at thenitrogen atom.

Table 2 presents charts of N²,N⁴,N⁶-tris(amino)-1,3,5-triazine compoundsof Libraries I-III of this invention, respectively, along with the amineprecursor monomers used in the preparation of the compounds. Generalprocedures and synthetic procedures are detailed in Example 1-5. Thesequence in which each monomer is added in Scheme 1 is also presented inTable 2, where Monomer 1 is added first, Monomer 2 added second, andMonomer 3 is added third. While not intending to be bound by thefollowing statement, it is believed that this order of addition issignificant, because each synthetic stop necessarily involves thereaction of a monomer with a different triazine precursor. That is,monomer 1 reacts with cyanuric chloride, monomer 2 reacts with an aminodichloro(triazine), and monomer 3 reacts with a diaminochloro(triazine), as shown in Scheme 1. Thus, the order in which themonomers are employed is based on the general synthetic principle thatthe relative nucleophilicity and/or basicity of monomers 1-3 used in thesynthetic scheme should generally increase from monomer 1 to monomer 3.This strategy permits the most nucleophilic and/or basic amine monomerto be reacted with the more sterically congested and presumablyless-reactive diamino chloro(triazine), where its greater reactivity mayassist the reaction proceeding to completion. In some cases, more thanone order of monomer addition will provide the desired product, but thereaction sequences provided in Table 2 represents the optimum syntheticmethods presently known.

Note that only in a general sense do the substituents indicated asN^(A), N^(B), and N^(C) in the general structures above correspond withthe actual N²,N⁴,N⁶-nomenclature of the N²,N⁴,N⁶-tris(amino)triazines.Because the order in which N², N⁴, and N⁶ substituents are assigned a2-, 4-, or 6-position on the triazine core is dependent on the name ofeach amino group in the molecule, it is not always true that oneparticular amino group always appears as an N², N⁴, or N⁶ substituent,even when only a single substituent is being permuted at one position.For example, many of the compounds of Table 2 contain both cycloheptylamino and 3-fluoro-4-methoxyphenyl amino groups, yet these groups takeon different 2-, 4-, or 6-positions as a function of the name of thethird substituent on the triazine core. As a result, the syntheses arediscussed in terms of permuting amino groups at one pendant N^(A),N^(B), or N^(C) position (rather than N², N⁴, or N⁶ position) in thestructure above, while maintaining the other amino groups constant.Further, note that the compound names used in the Tables, Claims andspecification were typically generated using Beilstein's Autonom™4.01.188, as well as the earlier CD “stand-alone” version of Beilstein'sAutonom™, Autonom 2000. Typically, the compound names generated in thisfashion were used, regardless of whether the compound name is an IUPAC,CAS, Beilstein, or other nomenclature. In each case however, the namesunambiguously identify the compound specified.

A. Amino Groups Derived from Monomer 1

Antiproliferative Activities

One embodiment of the present invention comprises methods andcompositions comprising the compounds of the present invention for thetreatment and prevention of conditions or diseases that have as anaspect of the disease or condition, unwanted cellular proliferationoccurring or are the result of cellular proliferation. For example, manyvascular diseases, such as cardiovascular diseases, organ transplantsequellae, vascular occlusive conditions including, but not limited to,neointimal hyperplasia, restenosis, transplant vasculopathy, cardiacallograft vasculopathy, atherosclerosis, and arteriosclerosis, arecaused by or have collateral damage due to unwanted cellularproliferation. Smooth muscle cell (SMC) hyperplasia is a major event inthe development of atherosclerosis and is also responsible for thesignificant number of failure rates following vascular procedures suchas angioplasty and coronary artery bypass surgery, particularly due torestenosis. Proliferation of arterial wall SMC in response to localinjury is a major feature of many vascular proliferative disorders.Neointimal hyperplasia is commonly seen after various forms of vascularinjury and a major component of the vein graft's response to harvest andsurgical implantation into high-pressure arterial circulation.Proliferation of SMC in response to local injury is a major feature ofvascular proliferative disorders such as atherosclerosis and restenosisafter angioplasty.

One aspect of the present invention relates to methods and compositionsfor the treatment and prevention of smooth muscle cell (SMC)proliferation, preferably comprising compositions and compounds havingcellular antiproliferative activity. These compounds and compositionscomprising such compounds are referred to as antiproliferative compoundsor compositions.

In addition, compounds, to includecompositions thereof, encompassed within the scope of structuresIb-XVIb, respectively, or listed in Tables 1B and 1E may be likewiseemployed in this embodiment and/or aspect of the present invention.Further, any hydrogen atoms that are required for any atom to attain itsusual valence in a structure presented in Table 3, whether a carbon atomor a heteroatom, should be inferred if it is not specifically indicated.

In addition to the above compounds, the following compounds andcompositions comprising these compounds are active in ananti-proliferation assay (Perlecan). These compounds and compositionscomprising these compounds are, among other things, generally useful fortreating cardiovascular disorders associated with proliferativeactivity. Specifically, these compounds includeN²-cycloheptyl-N⁴-(3-fluoro-4-methoxyphenyl)-N⁶-methyl-N⁶-(1-methyl-piperidin-4-yl)-1,3,5-triazine-2,4,6-triamine,andN²-cycloheptyl-N⁴-methyl-N⁴-(1-methyl-piperidin-4-yl)-N⁶-naphthalen-2-yl-1,3,5-triazine-2,4,6-triamine.Using the same activity scale used in Table 3, and discussed above, thefirst compound,N²-cycloheptyl-N⁴-(3-fluoro-4-methoxyphenyl)-N⁶-methyl-N⁶-(1-methyl-piperidin-4-yl)-1,3,5-triazine-2,4,6-triamine,is characterized as a compound exhibiting medium or moderate activity,while the second compound,N²-cycloheptyl-N⁴-methyl-N⁴-(1-methyl-piperidin-4-yl)-N⁶-naphthalen-2-yl-1,3,5-triazine-2,4,6-triamine,is characterized as a compound exhibiting high activity.

As used herein, when a proteoglycan is referred to, the entire moleculeor fragments are included therein. For example, perlecan refers to theentire perlecan molecule or fragments thereof. Different fragments ofperlecan may have the same or different effects on cells and the effectsmay be the same as or different from the effects that the entireperlecan molecule has on cells. These fragments and activities arecontemplated in the present invention and compounds included in thepresent invention may have at least one activity that modulates oreffects the fragements' activities or the entire molecule's activities.Although the discussion herein refers specifically to perlecans it isimportant to note that the compositions, methods, and assays describedherein are equally applicable in the context of other proteoglycans,including HSPGs, and including but not limited to, chondroitan sulfates(e.g., A, B, and C), dermatan sulfates, syndecans and glypicans.

Methods for identifying the activity and screening for one or more ofthese compounds or molecules that induce synthesis of proteoglycans suchas HSPG (heparan sulfate proteoglycan) are taught in U.S. patentapplication Ser. No. 10/091,357, which is incorporated herein in itsentirety. Assays of effects of compounds in vivo are also taught in theincorporated references and are known to those skilled in the art. Ingeneral, methods comprise the addition of such compounds to assays andmeasurement of HSPG synthesis including, but not limited to, theproduction of syndecans, glypicans and perlecans, for example, syndecans1, 2 and 4; and glypican-1. Other assays that can be used to determinethe activity of the compounds of the present invention include othermethods for measuring the induction of perlecan synthesis. For example,in one assay, perlecan is induced in cells by certain inducers, and theresponse is measured. Compounds of the present invention are then addedto a replicate assay and the effect on perlecan induction is determined.Using such methods, compounds are determined that can either inhibitperlecan, elevate induction of perlecan, or that have no effect at all.Those compounds that are effective as therapeutic agents can then beused in animals, humans or patients with cellular proliferation diseaseaspects, such as vascular-associated diseases or SMC proliferationpathologies.

Another assay for determining compounds having SMC effects comprisesadding a composition suspected of effecting SMC proliferation to smoothmuscle cells in growth medium or serum-free medium. The change in cellproliferation can be measured by methods known to those skilled in theart, such as incorporation of labeled nucleotides into dividing cells'DNA, and compared to the proliferation of cells which are not treatedwith the compound. Other measurements include directly determininglevels of HSPG synthesis by measuring the amount or change in amount ofHSPG such as with ELISA for HSPGs, and compared to the amount of HSPGsynthesis in untreated cells. Other indirect or direct measurement arecontemplated by the present invention and are known to those skilled inthe art. For example, such methods include, but are not limited to,measurement of RNA levels, RT-PCR, Northern blotting, Western blottingpromoter-based assays to identify compounds that affect one or moreproteoglycans and assays for proteoglycan biological activity shown byrecombinant proteins, partially purified proteins, or lysates from cellsexpressing proteoglycans in the presence or absence of compounds ofinterest.

An assay for identifying and determining an activity of one or more ofthe compounds of the present invention comprises identifying compoundsthat interact with the promoter regions of a gene, or interact andeffect proteins that interact with the promoter region, and areimportant in the transcriptional regulation of the protein's expression.For example, if perlecan were the protein, in general, the methodcomprises a vector comprising regulatory sequences of the perlecan geneand an indicator region controlled by the regulatory sequences, such asan enzyme, in a promoter-reporter construct. The protein product of theindicator region is referred to herein as a reporter enzyme or reporterprotein. The regulatory region of the sequence of perlecan comprises arange of nucleotides from approximately −4000 to +2000 wherein thetranscription initiation site is +1, more preferably, from −2500 to+1200, most preferably, from −1500 to +800 relative to the transcriptioninitiation site.

Cells are transfected with a vector comprising the promoter-reporterconstruct and then treated with one or more compositions comprising atleast one compound of the present invention. For example, thetransfected cells are treated with a composition comprising a compoundsuspected of effecting the transcription of perlecan and the level ofactivity of the perlecan regulatory sequences are compared to the levelof activity in cells that were not treated with the compound. The levelof activity of the perlecan regulatory sequences are determined bymeasuring the amount of the reporter protein or determining the activityof the reporter enzyme controlled by the regulatory sequences. Anincrease in the amount of the reporter protein or the reporter enzymeactivity shows a stimulatory effect on perlecan, by positively effectingthe promoter, whereas a decrease in the amount or the reporter proteinor the reporter enzyme activity shows a negative effect on the promoterand thus, on perlecan.

Additionally, the present invention comprises methods and compositionsthat can be used with gene therapy methods and composition, such asthose gene therapy methods comprising administering compositionscomprising nucleic acids that effect the synthesis or expression ofHSPGs, particularly perlecan. Such methods and compositions are taughtin U.S. patent application Ser. No. 10/091,357, incorporated herein byreference.

IV. Glycosidase Modulation Activity

The present invention also comprises methods and compositions comprisingcompounds described herein that have an activity associated withmodulation of glycosidase enzymes and thus, effecting the substrates forsuch enzymes. Glycosidase enzymes and their activity with theirsubstrates, such as proteoglycans or glycated proteins, are aspects of avariety of diseases such as vascular conditions, including thoseconditions discussed supra, proteoglycan-associated diseases, supra,associated diseases with vascular components, including but not limitedto, kidney disease, ischemic heart disease, cardiovascular disease,generalized vascular disease, proliferative retinopathy, andmacroangeopathy, inflammatory diseases and metastatic diseases such ascancer, cellular proliferative conditions, and solid and blood bornetumors or other oncological conditions. Compounds described herein thathave an activity that effects the concentrations of substrates ofglycosidase enzymes are used in methods of treatment of such vascular,inflammatory, metastatic and systemic diseases.

An aspect of the present invention comprises methods and compositionsfor the modulation of enzymes, such as glycosaminoglycan degradingenzymes, which effect or are effected by proteoglycan levels, amount oractivity. For example, the present invention comprises methods andcompositions comprising compounds that modulate enzymes including butnot limited to, heparanase, chondroitanase, heparan sulfateendoglycosidase, heparan sulfate exoglycosidase, polysaccharide lyases,keratinase, hyauronidase, glucanase, amylase, glycosidases, or otherproteoglycan degrading enzymes are useful for the treatment ofconditions such as diabetic vasculopathy, cancer, inflammatory diseases,autoimmune diseases and cardiovascular diseases. For example, thepresent invention comprises methods and compositions of compounds thatinhibit, impair or down-regulate the activity of proteoglycan degradingenzymes.

Proteoglycans such as HSPG are important components of thesubendothelial extracellular matrix and the basement membrane of bloodvessels. Rosenberg et al., 99 J. CLIN. INVEST. 2062-70 (1997). Basementmembranes are continuous sheets of extracellular matrix composed ofcollagenous and noncollagenous proteins and proteoglycans that separateparenchymal cells from underlying interstitial connective tissue. Theyhave characteristic permeabilities and play a role in maintaining tissuearchitecture.

In addition to HSPGs, the basal lamina consists predominantly of acomplex network of adhesion proteins, fibronectin, laminin, collagen andvitronectin. Wight et al., 6 CURR. OPIN. LIPIDOL. 326-334 (1995).Heparan sulfate (HS) is an important structural component of the basallamina. Each of the adhesion proteins interacts with HS side chains ofHSPGs within the matrix. Thus, HSPGs function as a barrier to theextravasation of metastatic and inflammatory cells. Cleavage of HS bythe endoglycosidase heparanase produced by metastatic tumor cells andinflammatory cells destroys the filtering properties of the lamina. Inaddition, the degradation of the HS may assist in the disassembly of theextracellular matrix and thereby facilitate cell migration by allowingblood borne cells to escape into the bloodstream. Vlodavsky et al., 12INVASION METASTASIS 112-127 (1992).

Heparanase activity has been described in a number of tissues and celltypes including liver, placenta, platelets, fibroblasts, neutrophils,activated T and B-lymphocytes, monocytes, and endothelial cells (7-16).Nakajima et al., (31) CANCER LETT. 277-283 (1986); Nakajima et al., 36J. CELL. BIOCHEM. 157-167 (1988); Ricoveri et al., 46 CANCER RES.3855-3861 (1986); Gallagher et al., 250 BIOCHEM. J. 719-726 (1988);Dempsey et al., 10 GLYCOBIOLOGY 467 (2000); Goshen et al., 2 MOL. HUM.REPROD. 679 (1996); Parish et al., 76 IMMUNOL CELL BIOL. 104-113 (1998);Gilat et al., 181 J. EXP. MED. 1929-1934 (1995); Graham, et al., 39BIOCHEM. MOL. BIOL. INT. 56371 (1996); Pillarisetti et al., 270 J. BIOL.CHEM. 29760-29765 (1995). An important process in tissue invasion byblood-borne tumor cells and white cells involves their passage throughthe vascular endothelial cell layer and subsequent degradation of theunderlying basal lamina or basement membranes and extracellular matrixwith a battery of secreted proteases and glycosidases. Nakajinia et al.,220 SCIENCE 611-613 (1983); Vlodavsky et al., 12 INVASION METASTASIS112-127 (1992).

Heparanase activity was shown to correlate with the metastatic potentialof animal and human tumor cell lines. Nakajima et al., 31 CANCER LETT.277-283 (1986); Nakajima et al., 212 PROG CLIN BIOL RES. 113-122 (1986);Freeman et al., 325 BIOCHEM. J. 229-237 (1997); Vlodavsky et al., 5 NAT.MED. 793-802 (1999); Hulett et al., 5 NAT MED. 803-809 (1999). It isalso known to regulate growth factor activity. Many growth factorsremain bound to heparan sulfate in storage form and are disassociated byheparanase during angiogenesis, improving the survival rate of cancercells.

Serum heparanase levels in rats were higher by more than an order ofmagnitude after injection of the rats with highly metastatic mammaryadenocarcinoma cells. In addition, heparanase activity in the sera ofrats bearing MTLn3 tumors correlated well with the extent of themetastases. Moreover, serum/urine heparanase activity in cancer patientswas shown to be 2-4 fold increased in particular where tissue metastaseswere present. Because the cleavage of HS appears to be essential for thepassage of metastatic tumor cells and leukocytes through basementmembranes, studies of heparanase inhibitors provides the potential ofdeveloping a novel and highly selective class of anti-metastatic andanti-inflammatory drugs.

The present invention comprises methods and compositions comprisingcompounds that modulate heparanase activity or the activity of otherglycosidases, including, but not limited to enzymes withglycosaminoglycan activity such as chondroitinase, heparan sulfateendoglycosidase, heparan sulfate exoglycosidase, polysaccharide lyases,keratinase, hyaluranidase, glucanase, and amylase.

Compounds or compositions comprising such compounds that are effectivein modulating glycosidase enzyme activity are useful in treating and/orpreventing cancer including, but not limited to, malignant andnon-malignant cell growth, leukemia, acute leukemia, acute lymphoblasticleukemia (ALL), B-cell, T-cell or FAB ALL, acute myeloid leukemia (AML),chromic myelocytic leukemia (CML), chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL),hairy cell leukemia, myelodyplastic syndrome (MDS), a lymphoma,Hodgkin's disease, a malignamt lymphoma, non-hodgkin's lymphoma,Burkitt's lymphoma, multiple myeloma, Kaposi's sarcoma, colorectalcarcinoma, pancreatic carcinoma, nasopharyngeal carcinoma, malignanthistiocytosis, paraneoplastic syndrome/hypercalcemia of malignancy,solid tumors, adenocarcinomas, sarcomas, malignant melanoma, hemangioma,metastatic disease, cancer related bone resorption, cancer related bonepain, and the like.

In another aspect of the present invention, the compounds disclosedherein are useful in modulating heparanase activity or the activity ofother glycosidases as a means for treating and preventing autoimmunediseases. Generally autoimmune disease results when (1) the immunesystem mistakenly identifies a cell surface molecule on normal tissue asa foreign molecule (2) the synthesis and secretion of chemokines,cytokines and lymphokines is not shut down after the eradication of thedisease or (3) the immune system overreacts to the apparent infectionand destroys vast quantities of surrounding normal tissue.

To be effective in an immune response, the immune effector cells mustbind to the luminal/apical surface of the blood vessel walls. This isaccomplished through the interaction of adhesion molecules on the immuneeffector cells with their locally upregulated cognate receptors on theendothelial cells lining the vasculature near the site of infection.After binding to the apical surface and before entering the inflamedtissue, the immune effector cells must breach the basement membrane (BM)and extracellular matrix (ECM) that surround the basal portion of theblood vessels and give the vessels their shape and strength. The BM andECM consists of structural proteins embedded in a fiber meshworkconsisting mainly of complex carbohydrate containing structures(glycosaminoglycans), of which the main constituent is heparin sulfateproteoglycan (HSPG). In order to breach this barrier the immune effectorcell must weaken or destroy it, which is accomplished through the localsecretion of proteases and heparanase(s).

Thus, the inhibition of heparanase or the activity of other glycosidasesusing the compounds of the present invention finds utitlity in treatingarthritis and other autoimmune diseases.

Compounds having heparanase activity inhibition, that are effective forexample, in treatment of cancer and autoimmune disease, can bedetermined using assays such as those disclosed in U.S. patentapplication Ser. No. 09/952,648, which is incorporated herein in itsentirety. Such assays, which are used for measurement of cellular andenzymatic activities, both qualitatively and quantitatively, and inmethods for diagnosing metastases, metastatic potential and inflammatorystates, are performed with and without the addition of at least one ofthe compounds of the present invention to determine the activity of thecompound. Existing heparanase assays are taught in Goshen et al., 2 MOL.HUM. REPROD. 679-84 (1996); Nakajima et al., 31 CANCER LETT. 277-83(1986); and Vlodasky et al., 12 INVASION METASTASIS 112-27 (1992);Freeman and Parish, 325 BIOCHEM. J. 229-37 (1997); Kahn and Newman, 196ANAL. BIOCHEM. 373-76 (1991). Solid-phase heparanase assays have alsobeen developed where chemically and biosynthetically radiolabeledheparin and HS chains were attached to a solid support, with release ofradiolabel from the solid support being a measure of enzyme activity.Assays using such procedures are taught in U.S. Pat. No. 4,859,581,which is entirely expressly herein incorporated by reference.

In general, a preferred assay comprises attaching one of a bindingpartner to a substrate for the enzyme to be measured, forming thesubstrate-binding partner. Incubation with a sample comprising theenzyme to be measured allows for activity by the enzyme to be measuredin a reaction mixture. A portion or the whole reaction mixture,depending on the amount needed, is then mixed with the complementarybinding partner, so that the binding partners are bound together. Thisis the first binding reaction. After incubating to allow for binding,washings are performed. A complementary binding partner, complementaryto the first binding partner attached to the substrate, is added. Thiscomplementary binding partner may or may not be the same as the firstcomplementary binding partner. This is the second binding reaction. Thecomplementary binding partner in the second binding reaction is labeledin a manner that is detectable. For example, the complementary bindingpartner is labeled with an enzyme that causes a detectable color changewhen the appropriate reaction conditions exist. The difference betweenthe activity of the enzyme in the presence of a compound and the absenceof compound is used to determine the activity of the compound.

An example of a heparanase assay comprises the following steps. Acomposition comprising biotin-HS (heparan sulfate) is mixed with abiological sample such as a tumor sample, bodily fluid, or other fluidsuspected of having heparanase activity, to form a reaction mixture.This sample may be pretreated to remove contaminating or reactivesubstances such as endogenous biotin. A control portion for thisreaction mixture does not contain a compound of the present invention,whereas a test portion contains one or more compounds disclosed herein.After incubation, an aliquot or portion of the reaction mixture portionsis removed and placed in a biotin-binding plate. The biotin-bindingplate comprises any means for binding biotin, preferably to a solidsurface. See WO 02/23197, which is entirely expressly incorporatedherein by reference. After washing with buffers, a streptavidin-enzymeconjugate is added to the biotin-binding plate. Reagents for the enzymeare added to form a detectable color product. For example, a decrease incolor formation, from a known standard, indicates there was heparanaseactivity in the sample. The difference between the activity of theenzyme in the presence of a compound and the absence of compound is usedto determine the activity of the compound.

Using the above assays or those taught in the Examples herein, theamount of enzyme activity in a sample can be determined and theactivities of compounds of the present invention can be determined. Forexample, a composition comprising a compound of the present invention isadded to a known amount of heparanase either before or during theincubation of the heparanase and its substrate-binding partner. If thecompound alters the activity of the heparanase, the assay methods of thepresent invention will show a change in the amount of detectable label.Such assays are used for high throughput determination of the activityof compounds. See WO 02/23197, which is entirely expressly incorporatedherein by reference.

The activities of the compounds included in the present inventionmodulate the activity of glycosidases, either positively or negatively,include effects on the glycosidases either directly or indirectly. Thecompounds may modulate the synthesis of glycosidases by cells or tissuesor may act directly upon one or more glycosidases to modulate thebiological activity or the biological stability of the enzyme itself,for example, heparanase. Activities also included herein are ones thatincrease the biosynthesis of one or more glycosidases by increasing thetranscription of the glycosidase gene, increasing the biologicalstability of the glycosidase mRNA or increasing the translation ofglycosidase mRNA into protein.

V. Inflammation Modulation

An embodiment of the present invention comprises methods andcompositions comprising compounds of the present invention for thetreatment and prevention of conditions or diseases that have as anaspect of the disease or condition, inflammation. An aspect of thepresent invention is directed to methods and compositions comprisingcompounds that are effective in inhibiting inflammation, particularlyinflammation associated with the accumulation or presence of glycatedproteins or AGE. The activity of modulating inflammation includes, butis not limited to, inhibiting inflammation and/or its associated cellactivation by glycated proteins or AGE, blocking the glycation ofproteins, blocking AGE interactions with receptors, blocking AGE-inducedsignaling or signaling-associated inflammatory responses, cytokineinduction, synthesis or release, AGE formation or AGE cross-linking.

The present invention also provides compositions for and methods oftreatment of biological conditions including, but not limited to,vascular complications of type I and type II diabetic-inducedvasculopathies, other vasculopathies, microangiopathies, renalinsufficiency, Alzheimer's syndrome, and inflammation-induced diseasessuch as atherosclerosis. Other inflammatory related diseases include,but are not limited to, inflammatory diseases of the joint such asrheumatoid arthritis, osteoarthritis, autoimmune diseases such as thosetaught supra, streptococcal cell-wall induced arthritis,adjuvant-induced arthritis, bursitis; inflammatory diseases of thethyroid such as acute, subacute and chronic thyroiditis, pelvicinflammatory disease, hepatitis; inflammatory bowel diseases such asCrohn's disease and colitis; neuroinflammatory diseases such as multiplesclerosis, abscess, meningitis, encephalitis, and vasculitis;inflammatory diseases of the heart such as myocarditis, chronicobstructive pulmonary disease, atherosclerosis, pericarditis;inflammatory diseases of the skin such as acute inflammatory dermnatoses(urticaria (hives), spongiotic dermatitis, erythema multiforme (emminor), Stevens-Johnson syndrome (sjs, em major), toxic epidermalnecrolysis (ten) and chronic inflammatory dermatoses (psoriasis, lichenplanus, discoid lupus erythematosus, acne vulgaris); inflammatorydiseases of the eye such as uveitis, allergic conjunctivitis, cornealinflammation, intraocular inflammation, iritis; laryngitis and asthma.

The compounds of the present invention have utility in inhibitinginflammation and/or its associated cell activation by glycated proteinsor AGE. Pharmacological inhibition of AGE-induced cell activationprovides the basis for therapeutic intervention in many diseases,notably in diabetic complications and Alzheimer's disease. Therapeuticapproaches for inhibition of AGE-induced inflammation include, but arenot limited to, blocking the glycation of proteins, blocking AGEinteractions with receptors and blocking AGE-induced signaling orsignaling-associated inflammatory responses.

At least one activity of some of the compounds of the present inventionis to block AGE effects by inhibiting AGE-induced signaling. Thesequence of these signaling events leading to inflammation are notclear, but inhibition of these signaling events leads to reduced or noinflammatory results. Compounds that block AGE-induced up-regulation ofinflammatory molecules were determined using screening assays. Otheraspects of the present invention comprise methods and compositionscomprising compounds that block glycated protein-induced inflammation.Some compounds may effect AGE formation or AGE cross-linking.

At least one activity of some of the compounds of the present inventionis to block AGE effects by inhibiting reactions with receptors of AGEand such activities are also contemplated by the methods of the presentinvention for treatment of related pathologies. For example, RAGE, aknown receptor for AGE, is a therapeutic target. Blocking RAGE inhibitedAGE-induced inflammation. Prior to use of the compounds of the presentinvention, the multiple functions of RAGE and possible long term sideeffects of accumulated AGE in plasma, have prevented this method oftreatment from being implemented. However, using the methods andcompositions of the present invention, more specific inhibitorycompounds can be used for treatments and overcome the current problemswith treatments that target receptors.

Enhanced formation and accumulation of glycated proteins and AGE arethought to play a major role in the pathogenesis of diabeticcomplications, and atherosclerosis, leading to the development of arange of diabetic complications including nephropathy, retinopathy andneuropathy. There is ample in vivo evidence that suggests thatdiabetes-related complications can be reduced by 1) preventing glycationof proteins, 2) by breaking the cross-links in glycated proteins or 3)by blocking glycated protein interaction with receptors. Despite theimportance of AGE in the pathogenesis of diabetic microangiopathies,there are no currently available medications known to block AGEformation.

Endothelium is the target organ of damage in diabetes. See Laight etal., 15 DIABETES METAB. RES. REV. 274-82 (1999); Stehouwer et al., 34CARDIOVASC. 55-68 (1997). Up-regulation of molecules involved inendothelial inflammation, such as IL-6 and monocyte chemoattractantprotein-1 (MCP-1) leads to endothelial dysfunction and vasculopathy. SeeStehouwer et al., 34 CARDIOVASC. 55-68 (1997); Libby, 247 J. INTERN.MED. 349-58 (2000); Van Lente, 293 CLINICA. CHIMICA. ACTA. 31-52 (2000).

IL-6 is a pro-inflammatory cytokine that is known to play a key role inthe pathogenesis of diabetes and atherosclerosis. See Horii et al., 39KIDNEY INT. SUPPL. 71-5 (1993); Huber et al., 19 ARTERIOSCLER THROMB.VASC. BIOL. 2364-67 (1999); Shikano et al., 85 NEPHRON 81-5 (2000);Pickup et al., 8(67) LIFE SCI. 291-300 (2000). IL-6 also promotes thegrowth of renal mesangial cells thus contributing to nephropathy. SeeKado et al., 36 ACTA. DIABETOL. 67-72 (1999). The serum IL-6 level indiabetic subjects was significantly higher than in normal healthycontrols (3.48+/−3.29 pg/ml vs 0.784+/−0.90 pg/ml, mean+/−SD). Inaddition the urinary IL-6 level is a good indicator of diabeticnephropathy. Serum IL-6 is useful in the evaluation of atherosclerosisand nephropathy.

MCP-1, another pro-inflammatory cytokine is found highly expressed inhuman atherosclerotic lesions and postulated to play a central inmonocyte recruitment into the arterial wall and developing lesions. SeeLibby, 247 J. INTERN. MED. 349-58 (2000). Recent results show that MCP-1is also a key pathogenic molecule in diabetic nephropathy. See Eitner etal., 51 KIDNEY INT. 69-78 (1997); Banba et al. 58 KIDNEY INT. 684-90(2000). Glycated albumin stimulates endothelial production of IL-6 andMCP-1. The effects of glycated albumin on IL-6 production are comparableto that of TNFα, a known inducer of IL-6. These cytokines are known tobe factors in vascular diseases.

The activity of the compounds of the present invention in inhibitingglycated protein- and AGE-induced inflammation can be determined usingthe assays described herein and in U.S. patent application Ser. No.10/026,335, which is herein incorporated in its entirety. Such assayscomprise measurement of the specific activity of biological componentsinvolved in a known cellular response. The assays provide a measurableresponse in which the activity of the compounds is determined. One assaycomprises measurement of the effects of compounds on an inflammatoryresponse by cells to the presence of a stimulating agent. Yet anotherassay comprises endothelial cells that are stimulated by the addition ofa glycated protein, the stimulating agent. The endothelial cells respondby producing specific cytokines. The amount of cytokines produced aredetermined by measurement protocols known to those skilled in the art.The compounds of the present invention are then added to the assay andthe production of cytokines is measured. From the comparison of theassay without the compound with the assay with the compound, thebiological effect of the compound can be determined. The compound mayhave an inhibitory effect, a stimulatory effect, or no effect at all.

The amount and type of cytokine produced can be determined usingimmunological methods, such as ELISA assays. The methods of the presentinvention are not limited by the type of assay used to measure theamount of cytokine produced, and any methods known to those skilled inthe art and later developed can be used to measure the amount ofcytokines produced in response to the stimulating agent and to thecompound having unknown activity.

An aspect of the present invention comprises methods and compositionsfor the treatment of diseases, preconditions or pathologies associatedwith inflammatory cytokines and other inflammation related moleculesincluding, but not limited to IL-6, VCAM-1, AGE-induced MCP-1, (monocytechemoattractant protein 1), heme oxygenase, insulin-like growth factor,selectins, IP-10, MIG and I-TAC, NF-κB, IL-1β (interleukin 1β), IL-11(interleukin 11), m-CSF (macrophage colony stimulating factor),fibrinogen, TNF-α (tumor necrosis factor α), adhesion molecules,selectins, VCAM-1 (Vascular Cell Adhesion Molecule-1), CRP (C-reactiveprotein), and PAI-1 (plasminogen activator inhibitor-1). Examples ofsuch diseases include the pathogenesis of atherosclerosis and thedevelopment of diabetic vasculopathy in type II diabetes. For example,affecting the activity or level of TNFα is a key mediator of tissuedamage following acute or chronic inflammatory reactions. The presentinvention contemplates providing compositions and methods that modulatethe effects of cytokines and inflammatory molecules such as TNFα, IL-6,VCAM-1, IP-10, MIG, I-TAC and AGE-induced MCP-1, and treat theassociated diseases, acute or chronic conditions, preconditions andpathologies.

Assays for determining the activity of compounds capable of modulatinginflammation include those taught in U.S. patent application Ser. Nos.10/026,335 and 09/969,013, which are both expressly incorporated byreference. In general, once the baseline response to the stimulatingagent for the production of cytokines by the endothelial cells isestablished, thus comprising the control levels for the screening assay,the methods comprise addition of compounds of the present invention. Theeffect of the compound on the baseline response is determined bycomparing the amount of cytokine produced in the presence of thestimulating agent and the amount of cytokine produced in the presence ofthe stimulating agent and the compound of the present invention. In apreferred method, compounds that have inhibitory effects on theinflammation of the cells in the presence of glycated albumin are thenused as therapeutic agents. One or more compounds may be added to thescreening assay. Combinations or mixtures of compounds can be added.Different amounts and formulations of the compounds are added todetermine the effects on the screening assay. The screening assay mayalso be used to determine stimulatory compounds or compounds that haveno effects in the assay.

The present invention comprises methods and compositions for thetreatment and prevention of disease, conditions and pathologiesassociated with inflammation. Such methods comprise administration ofcompositions comprising compounds capable of modulating the activity ofmolecules associated with inflammation such as AGE or cytokines or othercellular factors, including release rates or activity, and includecompositions comprising compounds disclosed herein with inflammationmodulating activity. Administration of such compounds that are effectivein modulating inflammation are administered to humans and animalssuspected of having or who have inflammatory diseases, for example,diabetic-induced vasculopathies, autoimmune diseases, renalinsufficiency, Alzheimer's syndrome, and inflammation-induced diseasessuch as atherosclerosis. Effective amounts are administered to suchhumans and animals in dosages that are safe and effective, including,but not limited to, the ranges taught herein. Routes of administrationinclude, but are not limited to, those disclosed herein. As disclosedherein, compositions comprising such compounds may be used inconjunction with other therapeutic agents or in methods comprising stepssuch as altered patient activities, including, but not limited to,changes in exercise or diet.

Compound/Composition-Coated Medical Devices

The compounds of the present invention may be used alone or incombination with other agents along with delivery devices to effectivelyprevent and treat the diseases described herein, though particularapplications are found in vascular disease, and in particular, vasculardisease caused by injury and/or by transplantation. Though this examplefocuses on vascular disease, provision of the compounds of the presentinvention with medical devices for treatment of the diseases andconditions capable of being treated with the compounds is contemplatedby the present invention.

Various medical treatment devices utilized in the treatment of vasculardisease may ultimately induce further complications. For example,balloon angioplasty is a procedure utilized to increase blood flowthrough an artery and is the predominant treatment for coronary vesselstenosis. However, the procedure typically causes a certain degree ofdamage to the vessel wall, thereby creating new problems or exacerbatingthe original problem at a point later in time. Although other proceduresand diseases may cause similar injury, exemplary embodiments of thepresent invention will be described with respect to the treatment ofrestenosis and related complications following percutaneous transluminalcoronary angioplasty and other similar arterial/venous procedures,including the joining of arteries, veins and other fluid carryingconduits in other organs or sites of the body, such as the liver, lung,bladder, kidney, brain, prostate, neck and legs.

The local delivery of a compound of the present invention and, in someembodiments, along with other therapeutic agents, from a stent preventsvessel recoil and remodeling through the scaffolding action of thestent. The activity of compound provided, with or without othertherapeutic agents, helps determine for which application, to treatwhich disease, the coated medical device is being administered. Forexample, compound-coated stents can prevent multiple components ofneointimal hyperplasia or restenosis as well as reduce inflammation andthrombosis. Local administration of a compound of the present inventionand other therapeutic agents to stented coronary arteries may also haveadditional therapeutic benefit. For example, higher tissueconcentrations of the compounds of the present invention and othertherapeutic agents may be achieved utilizing local delivery rather thansystemic administration. In addition, reduced systemic toxicity may beachieved utilizing local delivery rather than systemic administrationwhile maintaining higher tissue concentrations. In utilizing localdelivery from a stent rather than systemic administration, a singleprocedure may suffice with better patient compliance. An additionalbenefit of combination therapeutic agent and/or compound therapy may beto reduce the dose of each of the therapeutic agents, thereby limitingtoxicity, while still achieving a reduction in restenosis, inflammationand thrombosis. Local stent-based therapy is therefore a means ofimproving the therapeutic ratio (efficacy/toxicity) of anti-restenosis,anti-inflammatory, and anti-thrombotic therapeutic agents.

Although exemplary embodiments of the invention will be described withrespect to the treatment of restenosis and other related complications,it is important to note that the local delivery of a compound of thepresent invention, alone or as part of a therapeutic agent combination,may be utilized to treat a wide variety of conditions utilizing anynumber of medical devices, or to enhance the function and/or life of thedevice. For example, intraocular lenses, placed to restore vision aftercataract surgery is often compromised by the formation of a secondarycataract. The latter is often a result of cellular overgrowth on thelens surface and can be potentially minimized by combining one or morecompounds of the present invention having activity that is effecting inproventing unwanted cellular growth with the device. Other medicaldevices that often fail due to tissue in-growth or accumulation ofproteinaceous material in, on and around the device, such as shunts forhydrocephalus, dialysis grafts, colostomy bag attachment devices, eardrainage tubes, leads for pace makers and implantable defibrillators canalso benefit from the combinations of the compounds of the presentinvention, possibly other pharmaceutical agents, and the devices. Othersurgical devices, sutures, staples, anastomosis devices, vertebraldisks, bone pins, suture anchors, hemostatic barriers, clamps, screws,plates, clips, vascular implants, tissue adhesives and sealants, tissuescaffolds, various types of dressings, bone substitutes, intraluminaldevices, and vascular supports could also provide enhanced patientbenefit using this compound-device combination approach. Essentially,any type of medical device may be coated in some fashion with at leastone compound of the present invention, alone or as part of a therapeuticagent combination, which enhances treatment over the use of the deviceor therapeutic agent without combination with the compound.

As disclosed supra, the compounds of the present invention can beadministered in combinational therapies with other therapeutic agents,and are not limited to only the other therapeutic agents disclosedherein. Thus, the present invention also contemplates, in addition tovarious medical devices, the coatings on these devices may be used todeliver a compound of the present invention in combination with othertherapeutic agents. This illustrative list of therapeutic agents can beadministered through pharmeutical means or in association with medicaldevices and such therapeutic agents include, but are not limited to,antiproliferative/antimitotic agents including natural products such asvinca alkaloids (e.g., vinblastine, vincristine, and vinorelbine),paclitaxel, epidipodophyllotoxins (e.g., etoposide, teniposide),antibiotics (dactinomycin (actinomycin D) daunorubicin, doxorubicin andidarubicin), anthracyclines, mitoxantrone, bleomycins, plicamycin(mithramycin) and mitomycin, enzymes (L-asparaginase which systemicallymetabolizes L-asparagine and deprives cells which do not have thecapacity to synthesize their own asparagine); antiplatelet agents suchas G(GP) IIb/IIIa inhibitors and vitronectin receptor antagonists;antiproliferative/antimitotic alkylating agents such as nitrogenmustards (mechlorethamine, cyclophosphamide and analogs, melphalan,chlorambucil), ethylenimines and methylmelamines (hexamethylmelamine andthiotepa), alkyl sulfonates-busulfan, nirtosoureas (carmustine (BCNU)and analogs, streptozocin), trazenes-dacarbazinine (DTIC);antiproliferative/antimitotic antimetabolites such as folic acid analogs(methotrexate), pyrimidine analogs (fluorouracil, floxuridine, andcytarabine), purine analogs and related inhibitors (mercaptopurine,thioguanine, pentostatin and 2-chlorodeoxyadenosine (cladribine));platinum coordination complexes (cisplatin, carboplatin), procarbazine,hydroxyurea, mitotane, aminoglutethimide; hormones (e.g. estrogen);anticoagulants (heparin, synthetic heparin salts and other inhibitors ofthrombin); fibrinolytic agents (such as tissue plasminogen activator,streptokinase and urokinase), aspirin, dipyridamole, ticlopidine,clopidogrel, abciximab; antimigratory; antisecretory (breveldin);anti-inflammatory agents such as adrenocortical steroids (cortisol,cortisone, fludrocortisone, prednisone, prednisolone,6α-methylprednisolone, triamcinolone, betamethasone, and dexamethasone),non-steroidal agents (salicylic acid derivatives, i.e., aspirin;para-aminophenol derivatives, i.e., acetominophen; indole and indeneacetic acids (indomethacin, sulindac, and etodalac), heteroaryl aceticacids (tolmetin, diclofenac, and ketorolac), arylpropionic acids(ibuprofen and derivatives), anthranilic acids (mefenamic acid, andmeclofenamic acid), enolic acids (piroxicam, tenoxicam, phenylbutazone,and oxyphenthatrazone), nabumetone, gold compounds (auranofin,aurothioglucose, gold sodium thiomalate); immunosuppressives.(Cyclosporine, tacrolimus (FK-506), sirolimus (rapamycin), azathioprine,mycophenolate mofetil); angiogenic agents: vascular endothelial growthfactor (VEGF), fibroblast growth factor (FGF); angiotensin receptorblockers; nitric oxide donors; anti-sense oligionucleotides andcombinations thereof; cell cycle inhibitors, mTOR inhibitors, and growthfactor signal transduction kinase inhibitors.

Although any number of stents may be utilized in accordance with thepresent invention, for simplicity, a limited number of stents will bedescribed in exemplary embodiments of the present invention. The skilledartisan will recognize that any number of stents may be utilized inconnection with the present invention. In addition, as stated above,other medical devices may be utilized. For example, though stents aredescribed, sleeves outside the vessels are also contemplated, as areother medical devices that can provide a substrate for administrationfor at least one of the compounds of the present invention.

A stent is commonly used as a tubular structure left inside the lumen ofa duct to relieve an obstruction. Typically, stents are inserted intothe lumen in a non-expanded form and are then expanded autonomously, orwith the aid of a second device in situ. A common method of expansionoccurs through the use of a catheter-mounted, angioplasty balloon thatis inflated within the stenosed vessel or body passageway in order toshear and disrupt the obstructions associated with the wall componentsof the vessel and to obtain an enlarged lumen.

A stent may resemble an expandable cylinder and may comprise afenestrated structure for placement in a blood vessel, duct or lumen tohold the vessel, duct or lumen open, more particularly for protecting asegment of artery from restenosis after angioplasty. The stent may beexpanded circumferentially and maintained in an expanded configurationthat is circumferentially or radially rigid. The stent may be axiallyflexible and when flexed at a band, for example, the stent avoids anyexternally protruding component parts.

The stent may be fabricated utilizing any number of methods. Forexample, the stent may be fabricated from a hollow or formed stainlesssteel tube that may be machined using lasers, electric dischargemilling, chemical etching or other means. The stent is inserted into thebody and placed at the desired site in an unexpanded form. In oneembodiment, expansion may be effected in a blood vessel by a ballooncatheter, where the final diameter of the stent is a function of thediameter of the balloon catheter used. It should be appreciated that astent in accordance with the present invention may be embodied in ashape-memory material including, for example, an appropriate alloy ofnickel and titanium or stainless steel.

Structures formed from stainless steel may be made self-expanding byconfiguring the stainless steel in a predetermined manner, for example,by twisting it into a braided configuration. In this embodiment, afterthe stent has been formed it may be compressed so as to occupy a spacesufficiently small as to permit its insertion in a blood vessel or othertissue by insertion means, wherein the insertion means include asuitable catheter, or flexible rod. Upon emerging from the catheter, thestent may be configured to expand into the desired configuration wherethe expansion is automatic or triggered by a change in pressure,temperature or electrical stimulation.

Furthermore, a stent may be modified to comprise one or more reservoirs.Each of the reservoirs may be opened or closed as desired. Thesereservoirs may be specifically designed to hold the the compound orcompound/therapeutic agent combination to be delivered. Regardless ofthe design of the stent, it is preferable to have the compound orcompound/therapeutic agent combination dosage applied with enoughspecificity and a sufficient concentration to provide an effectivedosage in the affected area. In this regard, the reservoir size in thebands is preferably sized to adequately apply the the compound orcompound/therapeutic agent combination dosage at the desired locationand in the desired amount.

In an alternative embodiment, the entire inner and outer surface of thestent may be coated with the compound or compound/therapeutic agentcombination in therapeutic dosage amounts. The coating techniques mayvary depending on the the compound or compound/therapeutic agentcombination. Also, the coating techniques may vary depending on thematerial comprising the stent or other intraluminal medical device.

One or more compounds of the present invention and, in some instances,other therapeutic agents as a combination, may be incorporated onto oraffixed to the stent in a number of ways. In one embodiment, thecompound is directly incorporated into a polymeric matrix and sprayedonto the outer surface of the stent. The compound elutes from thepolymeric matrix over time and enters the surrounding tissue. Thecompound preferably remains on the stent for at least three days up toapproximately six months, and more preferably between seven and thirtydays.

Any number of non-erodible polymers may be utilized in conjunction withthe compound, and such polyermic compositions are well known in the art.In one embodiment, the polymeric matrix comprises two layers. The baselayer comprises a solution of poly(ethylene-covinylacetate) andpolybutylmethacrylate. The compound is incorporated into this baselayer. The outer layer comprises only polybutylmethacrylate and acts asa diffusion barrier to prevent the compound from eluting too quickly.The thickness of the outer layer or topcoat determines the rate at whichthe compound elutes from the matrix. Essentially, the compound elutesfrom the matrix by diffusion through the polymer matrix. Polymers arepermeable, thereby allowing solids, liquids and gases to escapetherefrom. The total thickness of the polymeric matrix is in the rangefrom about one micron to about twenty microns or greater. It isimportant to note that primer layers and metal surface treatments may beutilized before the polymeric matrix is affixed to the medical device.For example, acid cleaning, alkaline (base) cleaning, salinization andparylene deposition may be used as part of the overall process describedabove.

The poly(ethylene-co-vinylacetate), polybutylmethacrylate and compoundsolution may be incorporated into or onto the stent in a number of ways.For example, the solution may be sprayed onto the stent or the stent maybe dipped into the solution. Other methods include spin coating andplasma polymerization. In one embodiment, the solution is sprayed ontothe stent and then allowed to dry. In another embodiment, the solutionmay be electrically charged to one polarity and the stent electricallycharged to the opposite polarity. In this manner, the solution and stentwill be attracted to one another. In using this type of sprayingprocess, waste may be reduced and more precise control over thethickness of the coat may be achieved.

Drug-coated stents are manufactured by a number of companies includingJohnson & Johnson, Inc. (New Brunswick, N.J.), Guidant Corp. (SantaClara, Calif.), Medtronic, Inc. (Minneapolis, Minn.), Cook GroupIncorporated (Bloomington, Ind.), Abbott Labs., Inc. (Abbott Park,Ill.), and Boston Scientific Corp. (Natick, Mass.). See e.g., U.S. Pat.No. 6,273,913; U.S. Patent Application No. 20020051730; WO 02/26271; andWO 02/26139, each expressly entirely incorporated herein by reference.

Expression Profiles and Microarray Methods of Use

Other aspects of the present invention comprise compositions and methodsfor microarray devices. Such microarray devices and methods comprise avariety of microarrays that may be used, for example, to study andmonitor gene expression in response to treatment with the compounds ofthe present invention. The microarrays may comprise nucleic acidsequences, carbohydrates or proteins that are determinative for specificcells, tissues, species, disease states, prognoses, disease progression,or any other combination of molecules that can be used to determine aneffect of one or more of the compounds of the present invention

For example, the microarrays of the present invention may be derivedfrom, or representative of, for example, a specific organism or celltype, including human microarrays, vascular microarrays, inflammationmicroarrays, cancer microarrays, apoptosis microarrays, oncogene andtumor suppressor microarrays, cell-cell interaction microarrays,cytokine and cytokine receptor microarrays, blood microarrays, cellcycle microarrays, neuroarrays, mouse microarrays, and rat microarrays,or combinations thereof. In further embodiments, the microarrays mayrepresent diseases including cardiovascular diseases, vasculopathicconditions, inflammatory diseases, autoimmune diseases, neurologicaldiseases, immunological diseases, various cancers, infectious diseases,endocrine disorders, and genetic diseases.

Alternatively, the microarrays useful in assessing the efficacy of thecompounds of the present invention may represent a particular tissuetype including, but not limited to, heart, liver, prostate, lung, nerve,muscle, or connective tissue; preferably coronary artery endothelium,umbilical artery endothelium, umbilical vein endothelium, aorticendothelium, dermal microvascular endothelium, pulmonary arteryendothelium, myometrium microvascular endothelium, keratinocyteepithelium, bronchial epithelium, mammary epithelium, prostateepithelium, renal cortical epithelium, renal proximal tubule epithelium,small airway epithelium, renal epithelium, umbilical artery smoothmuscle, neonatal dermal fibroblast, pulmonary artery smooth muscle,dermal fibroblast, neural progenitor cells, skeletal muscle, astrocytes,aortic smooth muscle, mesangial cells, coronary artery smooth muscle,bronchial smooth muscle, uterine smooth muscle, lung fibroblast,osteoblasts, prostate stromal cells, or combinations thereof.

The present invention further contemplates microarrays comprising a geneexpression profile comprising one or more polynucleotide sequencesincluding complementary and homologous sequences, wherein said geneexpression profile is generated from a cell type treated with a compoundof the present invention and is selected from the group comprisingcoronary artery endothelium, umbilical artery endothelium, umbilicalvein endothelium, aortic endothelium, dermal microvascular endothelium,pulmonary artery endothelium, myometrium microvascular endothelium,keratinocyte epithelium, bronchial epithelium, mammary epithelium,prostate epithelium, renal cortical epithelium, renal proximal tubuleepithelium, small airway epithelium, renal epithelium, umbilical arterysmooth muscle, neonatal dermal fibroblast, pulmonary artery smoothmuscle, dermal fibroblast, neural progenitor cells, skeletal muscle,astrocytes, aortic smooth muscle, mesangial cells, coronary arterysmooth muscle, bronchial smooth muscle, uterine smooth muscle, lungfibroblast, osteoblasts, and prostate stromal cells.

The present invention contemplates microarrays comprising one or moreprotein-binding agents, wherein a protein expression profile isgenerated from a cell type treated with a compound of the presentinvention and is selected from the group comprising coronary arteryendothelium, umbilical artery endothelium, umbilical vein endothelium,aortic endothelium, dermal microvascular endothelium, pulmonary arteryendothelium, myometrium microvascular endothelium, keratinocyteepithelium, bronchial epithelium, mammary epithelium, prostateepithelium, renal cortical epithelium, renal proximal tubule epithelium,small airway epithelium, renal epithelium, umbilical artery smoothmuscle, neonatal dermal fibroblast, pulmonary artery smooth muscle,dermal fibroblast, neural progenitor cells, skeletal muscle, astrocytes,aortic smooth muscle, mesangial cells, coronary artery smooth muscle,bronchial smooth muscle, uterine smooth muscle, lung fibroblast,osteoblasts, and prostate stromal cells.

More specifically, the present invention contemplates methods for thereproducible measurement and assessment of the expression of specificmRNAs or proteins in, for example, a specific set of cells. One methodcombines and utilizes the techniques of laser capture microdissection,T7-based RNA amplification, production of cDNA from amplified RNA, andDNA microarrays containing immobilized DNA molecules for a wide varietyof specific genes, including HSPGs such as perlecan, to produce aprofile of gene expression analysis for very small numbers of specificcells. The desired cells are individually identified and attached to asubstrate by the laser capture technique, and the captured cells arethen separated from the remaining cells. RNA is then extracted from thecaptured cells and amplified about one million-fold using the T7-basedamplification technique, and cDNA may be prepared from the amplifiedRNA. A wide variety of specific DNA molecules are prepared thathybridize with specific polynucleotides of the microarray, and the DNAmolecules are immobilized on a suitable substrate. The cDNA made fromthe captured cells is applied to the microarray under conditions thatallow hybridization of the cDNA to the immobilized DNA on themicroarray. The expression profile of the captured cells is obtainedfrom the analysis of the hybridization results using the amplified RNAor cDNA made from the amplified RNA of the captured cells, and thespecific immobilized DNA molecules on the microarray. The hybridizationresults demonstrate, for example, which genes of those represented onthe microarray as probes are hybridized to cDNA from the captured cells,and/or the amount of specific gene expression. The hybridization resultsrepresent the gene expression profile of the captured cells. The geneexpression profile of the captured cells can be used to compare the geneexpression profile of a different set of captured cells. For example,gene expression profiles may be generated from cells treated (and nottreated) with a compound of the present invention. The similarities anddifferences provide useful information for determining the differencesbetween the same cell type under different conditions, morespecifically, the change in gene expression in response to treatmentwith a compound of the present invention.

The techniques used for gene expression analysis are likewise applicablein the context of protein expression profiles. Total protein may beisolated from a cell sample and hybridized to a microarray comprising aplurality of protein-binding agents, which may include antibodies,receptor proteins, small molecules, and the like. Using any of severalassays known in the art, hybridization may be detected and analyzed asdescribed above. In the case of fluorescent detection, algorithms may beused to extract a protein expression profile representative of theparticular cell type. In this regard, the change in protein expressionin response to treatment of cells with a compound of the presentinvention may be evaluated.

Thus, in one aspect, the present invention comprises at least onemicroarray corresponding to a population of genes isolated from aparticular tissue or cell type in methods that is used to detect changesin gene transcription levels that result from exposing the selectedtissue or cells to at least one compound of the present invention. Inthis embodiment, a biological sample derived from an organism, or anestablished cell line, may be exposed to at least one compound of thepresent invention in vivo or ex vivo. Thereafter, the gene transcripts,primarily mRNA, of the tissue or cells are isolated by methodswell-known in the art. SAMBROOK ET AL., MOLECULAR CLONING: A LAB. MANUAL(2001). The isolated transcripts are then contacted with a microarrayunder conditions where the transcripts hybridize with a correspondingprobe to form hybridization pairs. Thus, the microarray provides a modelof the transcriptional responsiveness following exposure to at least onecompound of the present invention. Such information can be used todetermine therapeutic candidates. A hybridization signal may then bedetected at each hybridization pair to obtain a gene expression profile.

Gene and/or protein expression profiles and microarrays may also be usedto identify activating or non-activating compounds of a particular genesuch as perlecan or other HSPG. Compounds that increase transcriptionrates or stimulate, maintain, or stabilize the activity of a protein areconsidered activating, and compounds that decrease rates or inhibit theactivity of a protein are non-activating. Moreover, the biologicaleffects of a compound may be reflected in the biological state of acell. This state is characterized by the cellular constituents. Oneaspect of the biological state of a cell is its transcriptional state.The transcriptional state of a cell includes the identities and amountsof the constituent RNA species, especially mRNAs, in the cell under agiven set of conditions. Thus, the gene expression profiles,microarrays, and algorithms discussed herein may be used to analyze andcharacterize the transcriptional state of a given cell or tissuefollowing exposure to an activating or non-activating compound,specifically, a compound of the present invention.

Microarray techniques and methods for analyzing results are well knownin the art. See U.S. Pat. Nos. 6,263,287; 6,239,209; 6,218,122;6,197,599; 6,156,501; 5,874,219; 5,837,832; 5,700,637; 5,445,934; U.S.Patent Application Nos. 2001/0014461 A1; 2001/0039016 A1; 2001/0034023A1; WO 01/94946; and WO 01/77668.

Database Creation, Database Access and Associated Methods of Use

Another embodiment of the present invention comprises a variety ofmethods for managing or using data related to the compounds, methods ofmaking the compounds, methods of using and administering the compounds,and diagnosing, prognosing and following the outcomes associated withdiseases in which the compounds are effective in treating. For example,methods for providing diagnostics and predictors relating tobiomolecules including HSPGS, particularly, perlecan, are contemplatedby the present invention. Also within the scope of this invention aremethods providing diagnostics and predictors relating to the efficacy ofthe compounds of the present invention. The present invention furthercontemplates methods of providing expression profile databases, andmethods for producing such databases, for normal and diseased tissues.

The expression profile database may be an internal database designed toinclude annotation information about the expression profiles generatedto assess the effect of the compounds of the present invention andthrough other sources and methods. Such information may include, forexample, the databases in which a given biomolecule was found, patientinformation associated with the expression profile, including age,cancer or tumor type or progression, information related to a compoundof the present invention such as dosage and administration information,descriptive information about related cDNAs associated with thesequence, tissue or cell source, sequence data obtained from externalsources, expression profiles for a given gene and the related diseasestate or course of disease, for example whether the expression profilerelates to or signifies a particular disease state, and preparationmethods. The expression profiles may be based on protein and/orpolynucleotide microarray data obtained from publicly available orproprietary sources. The database may be divided into two sections: onefor storing the sequences and related expression profiles and the otherfor storing the associated information. This database may be maintainedas a private database with a firewall within the central computerfacility. However, this invention is not so limited and the expressionprofile database may be made available to the public.

The database may be a network system connecting the network server withclients. The network may be any one of a number of conventional networksystems, including a local area network (LAN) or a wide area network(WAN), as is known in the art (e.g., Ethernet). The server may includesoftware to access database information for processing user requests,and to provide an interface for serving information to client machines.The server may support the World Wide Web and maintain a website and Webbrowser for client use. Client/server environments, database servers,and networks are well documented in the technical, trade, and patentliterature.

Through the Web browser, clients may construct search requests forretrieving data from, for example, a microarray database and anexpression profile database. For example, the user may “point and click”to user interface elements such as buttons, pull down menus, and scrollbars. The client requests may be transmitted to a Web application thatformats them to produce a query that may be used to gather informationfrom the system database, based, for example, on microarray orexpression data obtained by the client, and/or other phenotypic orgenotypic information. Specifically, the client may submit expressiondata based on microarray expression profiles obtained from a patienttreated with a compound of the present invention and use the system toobtain a diagnosis based on that information based on a comparison bythe system of the client expression data with the expression datacontained in the database. By way of example, the system compares theexpression profiles submitted by the client with expression profilescontained in the database and then provides the client with diagnosticinformation based on the best match of the client expression profileswith the database profiles. Thus, in one aspect, the comparison ofexpression profiles aids the clinician in determining the effectivenessof treatment with a compound of the present invention. Based on such acomparison, the clinician may alter or adjust the treatment regimen.

In addition, the website may provide hypertext links to public databasessuch as GenBank and associated databases maintained by the NationalCenter for Biotechnology Information (NCBI), part of the NationalLibrary of Medicine as well as, any links providing relevant informationfor gene expression analysis, genetic disorders, scientific literature,and the like. Information including, but not limited to, identifiers,identifier types, biomolecular sequences, common cluster identifiers(GenBank, Unigene, Incyte template identifiers, and so forth) andspecies names associated with each gene, is contemplated.

The present invention also provides a system for accessing and comparingbioinformation, specifically expression profiles and other informationwhich is useful in the context of the compositions and methods of thepresent invention. In one embodiment, the computer system may comprise acomputer processor, suitable memory that is operatively coupled to thecomputer processor, and a computer process stored in the memory thatexecutes in the computer processor and which comprises a means formatching an expression profile of a biomolecular sequence from a patientwith expression profile and sequence identification information ofbiomolecular sequences in a database. More specifically, the computersystem is used to match an expression profile generated from abiological sample treated with a compound of the present invention withexpression profile and other information in a database.

Furthermore, the system for accessing and comparing informationcontained in biomolecular databases comprises a computer programcomprising computer code providing an algorithm for matching anexpression profile generated from a patient, for example, treated with acompound of the present invention, with expression profile and sequenceidentification information of biomolecular sequences in a biomoleculardatabase.

The present invention contemplates, in one embodiment, the use of aGraphical User Interface (“GUI”) for the access of expression profileinformation stored in a biomolecular database. In a specific embodiment,the GUI may be composed of two frames. A first frame may contain aselectable list of biomolecular databases accessible by the user. When abiomolecular database is selected in the first frame, a second frame maydisplay information resulting from the pair-wise comparison of theexpression profile database with the client-supplied expression profileas described above, along with any other phenotypic or genotypicinformation.

The second frame of the GUI may contain a listing of biomolecularsequence expression information and profiles contained in the selecteddatabase. Furthermore, the second frame may allow the user to select asubset, including all of the biomolecular sequences, and to perform anoperation on the list of biomolecular sequences. In one embodiment, theuser may select the subset of biomolecular sequences by selecting aselection box associated with each biomolecular sequence. In anotherembodiment, the operations that may be performed include, but are notlimited to, downloading all listed biomolecular sequences to a databasespreadsheet with classification information, saving the selected subsetof biomolecular sequences to a user file, downloading all listedbiomolecular sequences to a database spreadsheet without classificationinformation, and displaying classification information on a selectedsubset of biomolecular sequences.

If the user chooses to display classification information on a selectedsubset of biomolecular sequences, a second GUI may be presented to theuser. In one embodiment, the second GUI may contain a listing of one ormore external databases used to create the expression profile databasesas described above. Furthermore, for each external database, the GUI maydisplay a list of one or more fields associated with each externaldatabase. In yet another embodiment, the GUI may allow the user toselect or deselect each of the one or more fields displayed in thesecond GUI. In yet another embodiment, the GUI may allow the user toselect or deselect each of the one or more external databases.

All such devices can be used for the administration of a pharmaceuticalcomposition in an aerosol. Such aerosols may comprise either solutions(both aqueous and non aqueous) or solid particles. Metered dose inhalerslike the Ventolin® metered dose inhaler, typically use a propellent gasand require actuation during inspiration. See, e.g., WO 98/35888; WO94/16970. Dry powder inhalers like Turbuhaler® (Astra), Rotahaler®(Glaxo), Diskus® (Glaxo), Spiros® inhaler (Dura), devices marketed byInhale Therapeutics, and the Spinhaler® powder inhaler (Fisons), usebreath-actuation of a mixed powder. See U.S. Pat. Nos. 5,458,135;4,668,218; WO 97/25086; WO 94/08552; WO 94/06498; and EP 0 237 507, eachentirely expressly incorporated herein by reference. Nebulizers likeAERx®, Aradigm, the Ultravent® nebulizer (Mallinckrodt), and the AcornII® nebulizer (Marquest Medical Products), the above references entirelyexpressly incorporated herein by reference, produce aerosols fromsolutions, while metered dose inhalers, dry powder inhalers, etc.generate small particle aerosols. These specific examples ofcommercially available inhalation devices are intended to be arepresentative of specific devices suitable for the practice of theinvention, and are not intended as limiting the scope of the invention.

Formulations suitable for nasal administration, wherein the carrier is asolid, include a coarse powder having a particle size, for example, inthe range of 20 to 500 microns which is administered in the manner inwhich snuff is administered, i.e., by rapid inhalation through the nasalpassage from a container of the powder held close up to the nose.Suitable formulations, wherein the carrier is a liquid, foradministration, as for example, a nasal spray or as nasal drops, includeaqueous or oily solutions of the active ingredient.

A spray comprising a pharmaceutical composition of the present inventioncan be produced by forcing a suspension or solution of a compounddisclosed herein through a nozzle under pressure. The nozzle size andconfiguration, the applied pressure, and the liquid feed rate can bechosen to achieve the desired output and particle size. An electrospraycan be produced, for example, by an electric field in connection with acapillary or nozzle feed. Advantageously, particles of at least onecompound delivered by a sprayer have a particle size in a range of aboutless than 1 μm to less than about 20 μm.

Pharmaceutical compositions of at least one of the compounds of thepresent invention suitable for use with a sprayer typically include acompound disclosed herein in an aqueous solution at a concentration ofabout 0.1 mg to about 100 mg of a compound disclosed herein per ml ofsolution or mg/gm, or any range or value therein, including, but notlimited to, 0.01, 0.02, 0.03, 0.04, 0.05, 0.06, 0.07, 0.08, 0.09, 0.1,0.2, 0.3, 0.4, 0.5, 0.6, 0.7, 0.8, 0.9, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10,11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28,29, 30, 40, 45, 50, 60, 70, 80, 90 or 100 mg/ml or mg/gm.

A pharmaceutical composition of the present invention can beadministered by a nebulizer such as a jet nebulizer or an ultrasonicnebulizer. Typically, in a jet nebulizer, a compressed air source isused to create a high-velocity air jet through an orifice. As the gasexpands beyond the nozzle, a low-pressure region is created, which drawsa solution of composition protein through a capillary tube connected toa liquid reservoir. The liquid stream from the capillary tube is shearedinto unstable filaments and droplets as it exits the tube, creating theaerosol. A range of configurations, flow rates, and baffle types can beemployed to achieve the desired performance characteristics from a givenjet nebulizer. In an ultrasonic nebulizer, high-frequency electricalenergy is used to create vibrational, mechanical energy, typicallyemploying a piezoelectric transducer. This energy is transmitted to theformulation of composition protein either directly or through a couplingfluid, creating an aerosol including the composition protein.Advantageously, particles of the pharmaceutical composition delivered bya nebulizer have a particle size range of from about less than 1 μm toless than about 20 μm.

Pharmaceutical compositions comprising a compound of the presentinvention suitable for use with a nebulizer, either jet or ultrasonic,typically include a concentration of about 0.1 mg to about 100 mg of acompound disclosed herein per ml of solution or mg/gm, or any range orvalue therein including, but not limited to, the individual amountsdisclosed for spray compositions.

In a metered dose inhaler (MDI), a propellant, a compound of the presentinvention, and any excipients or other additives are contained in acannister as a mixture including a liquefied, compressed gas. Actuationof the metering valve releases the mixture as an aerosol, preferablycontaining a particle size range of from about less than 1 μm to lessthan about 20 μm.

The desired aerosol particle size can be obtained by employing aformulation of a compound of the present invention produced by variousmethods known to those of skill in the art including, but not limitedto, jet-milling, spray drying, critical point condensation, and thelike. Suitable metered dose inhalers include those manufactured by 3M orGlaxo and employing a hydrofluorocarbon propellant.

Pharmaceutical compositions for use with a metered-dose inhaler devicewill generally include a finely divided powder containing a compounddisclosed herein as a suspension in a non-aqueous medium, for example,suspended in a propellant with the aid of a surfactant. The propellantcan be any conventional material employed for this purpose such aschlorofluorocarbon, a hydrochlorofluorocarbon, a hydrofluorocarbon, or ahydrocarbon including trichlorofluoromethane, dichlorodifluoromethane,dichlorotetrafluoroethanol and 1,1,1,2-tetrafluoroethane, HFA-134a(hydrofluroalkane-134a), HFA-227 (hydrofluroalkane-227), or the like. Inone embodiment, the propellant is a hydrofluorocarbon. The surfactantcan be chosen to stabilize the compound of the present invention as asuspension in the propellant, to protect the active agent againstchemical degradation, and the like. Suitable surfactants includesorbitan trioleate, soya lecithin, oleic acid, or the like. In somecases solution aerosols are preferred using solvents such as ethanol.One of ordinary skill in the art will recognize that the methods of thepresent invention can be achieved by pulmonary administration of acompound disclosed herein via devices not described herein.

Mucous surfaces suitable for application of the emulsionsof the present invention can include corneal, conjunctival, buccal,sublingual, nasal, vaginal, pulmonary, abdominal, intestinal, and rectalroutes of administration. Pharmaceutical compositions for vaginal orrectal administration such as suppositories, can contain as excipients,for example, polyalkyleneglycols, vaseline, cocoa butter, and the like.Pharmaceutical composition s for intranasal administration can be solidand contain excipients, for example, lactose or can be aqueous or oilysolutions of nasal drops. For buccal administration, excipients includesugars, calcium stearate, magnesium stearate, pregelinatined starch, andthe like. See, e.g., U.S. Pat. No. 5,849,695.

In another embodiment, the pharmaceutical compositions of the presentinvention may be administered via transdermal routes using forms oftransdermal skin patches well known to those of ordinary skill in thatart. For transdermal administration, a compound of the present inventionis encapsulated in a delivery device such as a liposome or polymericnanoparticles, microparticle, microcapsule, or microspheres (referred tocollectively as microparticles unless otherwise stated). A number ofsuitable devices are known, including microparticles made of syntheticpolymers such as polyhydroxy acids such as polylactic acid, polyglycolicacid and copolymers thereof, polyorthoesters, polyanhydrides, andpolyphosphazenes, and natural polymers such as collagen, polyaminoacids, albumin and other proteins, alginate and other polysaccharides,and combinations thereof. See, e.g., U.S. Pat. No. 5,814,599. To beadministered in the form of a transdermal delivery system, the dosageadministration may be, for example, continuous rather than intermittentthroughout the dosage regimen.

Formulations suitable for topical administration to the skin may bepresented as ointments, creams, gels and pastes comprising theingredient to be administered in a pharmaceutical acceptable carrier. Apreferred topical delivery system is a transdermal patch comprising acompound of the present invention.

Examplesof such carriers and methods of formulation may be found in REMINGTON'SPHARMACEUTICAL SCIENCES (1990). Pharmaceutical formulations may containfrom about 0.005% to about 10% by weight of the active ingredient. Inone embodiment, the pharmaceutical formulations contain from about 0.01%to 5% by weight of the compound of the present invention.

It can be sometimes desirable to deliver the compounds of the presentinvention to the subject over prolonged periods of time, for example,for periods of one week to one year from a single administration.Certain medical devices may be employed to provide a continuousintermittent or on demand dosing of a patient. The devices may be a pumpof diffusion apparatus, or other device containing a reservoir of drugand optionally diagnostic or monitoring components to regulate thedelivery of the drug. Various slow-release, depot or implant dosageforms can be utilized. For example, a dosage form can contain apharmaceutically acceptable non-toxic salt of compound disclosed hereinthat has a low degree of solubility in body fluids, for example, (a) anacid addition salt with a polybasic acid such as phosphoric acid,sulfuric acid, citric acid, tartaric acid, tannic acid, pamoic acid,alginic acid, polyglutamic acid, naphthalene mono- or di-sulfonic acids,polygalacturonic acid, and the like; (b) a salt with a polyvalent metalcation such as zinc, calcium, bismuth, barium, magnesium, aluminum,copper, cobalt, nickel, cadmium and the like, or with an organic cationformed from e.g., N,N′-dibenzyl-ethylenediamine or ethylenediamine; or(c) combinations of (a) and (b) e.g., a zinc tannate salt. Additionally,the compounds of the present invention or, preferably, a relativelyinsoluble salt such as those just described, can be formulated in a gel,for example, an aluminum monostearate gel with, e.g., sesame oil,suitable for injection. Exemplary salts include, but are not limited to,zinc salts, zinc tannate salts, pamoate salts, and the like. Anothertype of slow-release depot formulation for injection would contain thecompound or salt dispersed or encapsulated in a slow degrading,non-toxic, non-antigenic polymer such as a polylactic acid/polyglycolicacid polymer, for example, as described in U.S. Pat. No. 3,773,919. Thecompounds or relatively insoluble salts thereof such as those describedabove can also be formulated in cholesterol matrix silastic pellets,particularly for use in animals. Additional slow-release, depot orimplant formulations, e.g., gas or liquid liposomes are known in theliterature. See, e.g., U.S. Pat. No. 5,770,222; SUSTAINED AND CONTROLLEDRELEASE DRUG DELIVERY SYSTEMS (1978).

Other examples include provision of the compounds of the presentinvention to be administered by sustained release delivery systemcontaining a biodegradable composition. The biodegradable compositionmay be composed of a biodegradable, water-coagulable, non-polymericmaterial and a biocompatible, non-toxic organic solvent that is miscibleto dispersible in an aqueous medium. The delivery system may beimplanted at an implant site causing the solvent to dissipate, disperseor leach from the composition into surrounding tissue fluid through aresulting microporous matrix.

As used herein, the term “implant site” is meant to include a site, inor on which the non-polymeric composition is applied. Implantation orimplant site can also include the incorporation of the pharmaceuticalcomposition comprising at least one compound of the present inventionwith a solid device. For example, the pharmaceutical composition isincorporated into a coating on a stent that is implanted into a subject.Additionally, other solid or biodegradeable materials can be used as asubstrate on which the pharmaceutical composition is applied. The coatedmaterial, comprising the pharmaceutical composition is then implanted,inserted or is adjacent to the subject or patient. The term“biodegradable” means that the non-polymeric material and/or matrix ofthe implant will degrade over time by the action of enzymes, by simpleor enzymatically catalyzed hydrolytic action and/or by other similarmechanisms in the human body. By “bioerodible,” it is meant that theimplant matrix will erode or degrade over time due, at least in part, tocontact with substances found in the surrounding tissue fluids, cellularaction, and the like. By “bioabsorbable,” it is meant that thenon-polymeric matrix will be broken down and absorbed within the humanbody, for example, by a cell, a tissue, and the like.

Non-polymeric materials that can be used in the composition generallyare those that are biocompatible, substantially insoluble in water andbody fluids, and biodegradable and/or bioerodible. The non-polymericmaterial is capable of being at least partially solubilized in awater-soluble organic solvent. The non-polymeric materials are alsocapable of coagulating or solidifying to form a solid implant matrix.The non-polymeric material is combined with a compatible and suitableorganic solvent to form a composition that has the desired consistencyranging from watery to viscous to a spreadable putty or paste.

Suitable organic solvents are those that are biocompatible,pharmaceutically-acceptable, and will at least partially dissolve thenon-polymeric material. The organic solvent has a solubility in waterranging from miscible to dispersible. Optionally, a pore-forming agentcan be included in the composition to generate additional pores in theimplant matrix. The pore-forming agent can be any organic or inorganic,pharmaceutically-acceptable substance that is substantially soluble inwater or body fluid, and will dissipate from the coagulatingnon-polymeric material and/or the solid matrix of the implant intosurrounding body fluid at the implant site.

The compounds of the present invention are capable of providing a localor systemic biological, physiological or therapeutic effect in the bodyof an animal. In formulating some pharmaceutical compositions describedherein, the compound is preferably soluble or dispersible in thenon-polymeric composition to form a homogeneous mixture, and uponimplantation, becomes incorporated into the implant matrix. As the solidmatrix degrades over time, the compound is capable of being releasedfrom the matrix into the adjacent tissue fluid, and to the pertinentbody tissue or organ, either adjacent to or distant from the implantsite, preferably at a controlled rate. The release of the compound fromthe matrix may be varied, for example, by the solubility of the compoundin an aqueous medium, the distribution of the compound within thematrix, the size, shape, porosity, and solubility and biodegradabilityof the solid matrix. See e.g. U.S. Pat. No. 5,888,533. The amounts andconcentrations of ingredients in the composition administered to thepatient will generally be effective to accomplish the task intended.

Compounds of the present invention may be administered by bioactiveagent delivery systems containing microparticles suspended in a polymermatrix. The microparticles may be microcapsules, microspheres ornanospheres currently known in the art. The microparticles should becapable of being entrained intact within a polymer that is or becomes agel once inside a biological environment. The microparticles can bebiodegradable or non-biodegradable. Many microencapsulation techniquesused to incorporate a bioactive agent into a microparticle carrier aretaught in the art. See e.g. U.S. Pat. Nos. 4,652,441; 5,100,669;4,438,253; and 5,665,428.

Dosage Determinations

In general, the compounds disclosed herein may be used alone or inconcert with other therapeutic agents at appropriate dosages defined byroutine testing in order to obtain optimal efficacy while minimizing anypotential toxicity. The dosage regimen utilizing a compound of thepresent invention may be selected in accordance with a variety offactors including type, species, age, weight, sex, medical condition ofthe patient; the severity of the condition to be treated; the route ofadministration; the renal and hepatic function of the patient; and theparticular compound employed. A physician or veterinarian of ordinaryskill can readily determine and prescribe the effective amount of thedrug required to prevent, counter, or arrest the progress of thecondition.

Optimal precision in achieving concentrations of drug within the rangethat yields maximum efficacy with minimal toxicity may require a regimenbased on the kinetics of the compound's availability to one or moretarget sites. Distribution, equilibrium, and elimination of a drug maybe considered when determining the optimal concentration for a treatmentregimen. The dosages of a compound disclosed herein may be adjusted whencombined to achieve desired effects. On the other hand, dosages of thesevarious therapeutic agents may be independently optimized and combinedto achieve a synergistic result wherein the pathology is reduced morethan it would be if either agent were used alone.

In particular, toxicity and therapeutic efficacy of a compound disclosedherein may be determined by standard pharmaceutical procedures in cellcultures or experimental animals, e.g., for determining the LD₅₀ (thedose lethal to 50% of the population) and the ED₅₀ (the dosetherapeutically effective in 50% of the population). The dose ratiobetween toxic and therapeutic effect is the therapeutic index and it maybe expressed as the ratio LD₅₀/ED₅₀. Compounds exhibiting largetherapeutic indices are preferred except when cytotoxicity of thecompound is the activity or therapeutic outcome that is desired.Although compounds that exhibit toxic side effects may be used, adelivery system can target such compounds to the site of affected tissuein order to minimize potential damage to uninfected cells and, thereby,reduce side effects. Generally, the compounds of the present inventionmay be administered in a manner that maximizes efficacy and minimizestoxicity.

Data obtained from cell culture assays and animal studies may be used informulating a range of dosages for use in humans. The dosages of suchcompounds lies preferably within a range of circulating concentrationsthat include the ED₅₀ with little or no toxicity. The dosage may varywithin this range depending upon the dosage form employed and the routeof administration utilized. For any compound used in the methods of theinvention, the therapeutically effective dose may be estimated initiallyfrom cell culture assays. A dose may be formulated in animal models toachieve a circulating plasma concentration range that includes the IC₅₀(the concentration of the test compound that achieves a half-maximalinhibition of symptoms) as determined in cell culture. Such informationmay be used to accurately determine useful doses in humans. Levels inplasma may be measured, for example, by high performance liquidchromatography.

Moreover, the dosage administration of the pharmaceutical compositionsof the present invention may be optimized using apharmacokinetic/pharmacodynamic modeling system. For example, one ormore dosage regimens may be chosen and a pharmacokinetic/pharmacodynamicmodel may be used to determine the pharmacokinetic/pharmacodynamicprofile of one or more dosage regimens. Next, one of the dosage regimensfor administration may be selected which achieves the desiredpharmacokinetic/pharmacodynamic response based on the particularpharmacokinetic/pharmacodynamic profile. See WO 00/67776, which isentirely expressly incorporated herein by reference.

Methods are known in the art for determining effective doses fortherapeutic and prophylactic purposes for the disclosed pharmaceuticalcompositions or the disclosed drug combinations, whether or notformulated in the same composition. For therapeutic purposes, the term“jointly effective amount,” as used herein, means that amount of eachactive compound or pharmaceutical agent, alone or in combination, thatelicits the biological or medicinal response in a tissue system, animalor human that is being sought by a researcher, veterinarian, medicaldoctor or other clinician, which includes alleviation of the symptoms ofthe disease or disorder being treated. For prophylactic purposes (i.e.,inhibiting the onset or progression of a disorder), the term “jointlyeffective amount” refers to that amount of each active compound orpharmaceutical agent, alone or in combination, that inhibits in asubject the onset or progression of a disorder as being sought by aresearcher, veterinarian, medical doctor or other clinician. Thus, thepresent invention provides combinations of two or more therapeuticagents wherein, for example, (a) each therapeutic agent is administeredin an independently therapeutically or prophylactically effectiveamount; (b) at least one therapeutic agent in the combination isadministered in an amount that is sub-therapeutic or subprophylactic ifadministered alone, but is therapeutic or prophylactic when administeredin combination with the second or additional therapeutic agentsaccording to the invention; or (c) both therapeutic agents areadministered in an amount that is subtherapeutic or sub-prophylactic ifadministered alone, but are therapeutic or prophylactic whenadministered together. Combinations of three or more therapeutic agentsare analogously possible. Methods of combination therapy includecoadministration of a single formulation containing all active agents;essentially contemporaneous administration of more than one formulation;and administration of two or more active agents separately formulated.

The term “polynucleotide” refers generally to polymeric forms ofnucleotides of any length, either ribonucleotides or deoxynucleotides.Thus, this term includes, but is not limited to, single-stranded,double-stranded, or multi-stranded DNA or RNA. Polynucleotides mayfurther comprise genomic DNA, cDNA, or DNA-RNA hybrids. Moreover, thepolynucleotides of the present invention may be synthetically produced.

Polynucleotides may comprise chemically modified, biochemicallymodified, or derivatized nucleotides. For example, a polynucleotide maycomprise, in part, modified nucleotides such as methylated nucleotidesor nucleotide analogs. In other embodiments, polynucleotides maycomprise sugars, caps, nucleotide branches, and linking groups such asfluororibose and thioate. In addition, the sequence of nucleotides maybe interrupted by non-nucleotide components. Furthermore, apolynucleotide may be modified after polymerization to facilitate itsattachment to other polynucleotides, proteins, metal ions, labelingcomponents, or a solid support.

The backbone of the polynucleotide may comprise modified or substitutedsugar and/or phosphate groups. Alternatively, the backbone of thepolynucleotide may comprise a polymer of synthetic subunits such asphosphoramidites and thus may be an oligodeoxynucleoside phosphoramidateor a mixed phosphoramidate-phosphodiester oligomer. See Peyrottes etal., NUCL. ACIDS RES. (1996) 24:1841-1848, and Chaturvedi et al., NUCL.ACIDS RES. (1996) 24:2318-2323.

The term “homology”, as used herein, refers to a degree ofcomplementarity. There may be partial homology or complete homology(i.e., identity). A partially complementary sequence is one that atleast partially inhibits an identical sequence from hybridizing to atarget polynucleotide; it is referred to using the functional term“substantially homologous.” The inhibition of hybridization of thecompletely complementary sequence to the target sequence may be examinedusing a hybridization assay (Southern or Northern blot, solutionhybridization and the like) under conditions of low stringency. Asubstantially homologous sequence or probe will compete for and inhibitthe binding (i.e., the hybridization) of a completely homologoussequence or probe to the target sequence under conditions of lowstringency. This is not to say that conditions of low stringency aresuch that non-specific binding is permitted; low stringency conditionsrequire that the binding of two sequences to one another be a specific(i.e., selective) interaction. The absence of non-specific binding maybe tested by the use of a second target sequence which lacks even apartial degree of complementarity (e.g., less than about 30% identity);in the absence of non-specific binding, the probe will not hybridize tothe second non-complementary target sequence.

A gene mayconstitute an uninterrupted coding sequence or it may include one ormore introns, bound by the appropriate splice junctions. Moreover, agene may contain one or more modifications in either the coding or theuntranslated regions that could affect certain properties of thepolynucleotide or polypeptide, such as the biological activity or thechemical structure of the expression product, the rate of expression, orthe manner of expression control. Such modifications include, but arenot limited to, mutations, insertions, deletions, and substitutions ofone or more nucleotides. In this regard, such modified genes may bereferred to as variants of the native gene.

“Gene expression” refers to the process by which a polynucleotidesequence undergoes successful transcription and translation such thatdetectable levels of the nucleotide sequence are expressed as proteinsor the polynucleotide sequence undergoes transcription, if RNA is copiedfrom DNA, or replication if DNA is copied from DNA, such that theresulting nucleotide copies are detectable.

The term “gene expression profile” refers to a group of genesrepresenting a particular cell or tissue type (e.g., neuron, coronaryartery endothelium, or disease tissue) in any activation state.

This profile may be compared to agene expression profile generated from the same type of cell or tissuetype prior to treatment with a compound of the present invention.Furthermore, a series of gene expression profiles may be generated fromcells or tissues treated with a compound of the present invention,specifically, at different doses or a time-course to assess the effectsof the compound. A gene expression profile is also known as a geneexpression signature.

The term “differential expression” refers to both quantitative as wellas qualitative differences in the temporal and tissue expressionpatterns of a gene. For example, a differentially expressed gene mayhave its expression activated or completely inactivated in normal versusdisease conditions. Such a qualitatively regulated gene may exhibit anexpression pattern within a given tissue or cell type that is detectablein either control or disease conditions, but is not detectable in both.“Differentially expressed polynucleotide,” as used herein, refers to apolynucleotide sequence that uniquely identifies a differentiallyexpressed gene so that detection of the differentially expressedpolynucleotide in a sample is correlated with the presence of adifferentially expressed gene in a sample.

Similarly, a differentially expressed protein may have its expressionactivated or completely inactivated in normal versus disease conditions.Such a qualitatively regulated protein may exhibit an expression patternwithin a given tissue or cell type that is detectable in either controlor disease conditions, but is not detectable in both.

The term “polypeptide” refers to a polymeric form of amino acids of anylength, which may include translated, untranslated, chemically modified,biochemically modified, and derivatized amino acids. A polypeptide maybe naturally occurring, recombinant, or synthetic, or any combination ofthese. Moreover, the term “polypeptide,” as used herein, refers toproteins, polypeptides, and peptides of any size, structure, orfunction. For example, a polypeptide may comprise a string of aminoacids held together by peptide bonds. A polypeptide may alternativelycomprise a long chain of amino acids held together by peptide bonds.Moreover, a polypeptide may also comprise a fragment of a naturallyoccurring protein or peptide. A polypeptide may be a single molecule ormay be a multi-molecular complex. In addition, such polypeptides mayhave modified peptide backbones as well.

“Hybridization,” broadly defined, refers to any process by which apolynucleotide sequence binds to a complementary sequence through basepairing. Hybridization conditions can be defined by, for example, theconcentrations of salt or formamide in the prehybridization andhybridization solutions, or by the hybridization temperature, and arewell known in the art. Hybridization can occur under conditions ofvarious stringency. Hybridization may also refer to the binding of aprotein-capture agent to a target protein under certain conditions, suchas normal physiological conditions.

As understood herein, the term “activation” refers to any alteration ofa signaling pathway or biological response including, for example,increases above basal levels, restoration to basal levels from aninhibited state, and stimulation of the pathway above basal levels.

The term “biological activity” refers to the biological behavior andeffects of a protein or peptide. The biological activity of a proteinmay be affected at the cellular level and the molecular level. Forexample, an antisense oligonucleotide may prevent translation of aparticular mRNA, thereby inhibiting the biological activity of theprotein encoded by the mRNA. In addition, an antibody may bind to aparticular protein and inhibit that protein's biological activity.

The term “oligonucleotide” as used herein refers to a polynucleotidesequence comprising, for example, from about 4 nucleotides (nt) to about1000 nt. Oligonucleotides for use in the present invention arepreferably from about 15 nt to about 150 nt, more preferably from about150 nt to about 1000 nt in length. The oligonucleotide may be anaturally occurring oligonucleotide or a synthetic oligonucleotide.Oligonucleotides may be prepared by the phosphoramidite method (Beaucageand Carruthers, TETRAHEDRON LETT. (1981) 22:1859-1862), or by thetriester method (Matteucci et al., J. AM. CHEM. SOC. (1981) 103:3185),or by other chemical methods known in the art.

The term “microarray” refers generally to the type of genes or proteinsrepresented on a microarray by oligonucleotides (polynucleotidesequences) or protein-binding agents, and where the type of genes orproteins represented on the microarray is dependent on the intendedpurpose of the microarray (e.g., to monitor expression of human genes orproteins). The oligonucleotides or protein-binding agents on a givenmicroarray may correspond to the same type, category, or group of genesor proteins. Genes or proteins may be considered to be of the same typeif they share some common characteristics such as species of origin(e.g., human, mouse, rat); disease state (e.g., cancer); function (e.g.,protein kinases, tumor suppressors); same biological process (e.g.,apoptosis, signal transduction, cell cycle regulation, proliferation,differentiation). For example, one microarray type may be a “cancermicroarray” in which each of the microarray oligonucleotides orprotein-binding agents correspond to a gene or protein associated with acancer. An “epithelial microarray” may be a microarray ofoligonucleotides or protein-binding agents corresponding to uniqueepithelial genes or proteins. Similarly, a “cell cycle microarray” maybe an microarray type in which the oligonucleotides or protein-bindingagents correspond to unique genes or proteins associated with the cellcycle.

The term “detectable”, one in sense, refers to a polynucleotideexpression pattern which is detectable via the standard techniques ofpolymerase chain reaction (PCR), reverse transcriptase (RT)-PCR(RT-PCR), differential display, and Northern analyses, which are wellknown to those of skill in the art. Similarly, polypeptide expressionpatterns may be “detected” via standard techniques includingimmunoassays such as Western blots. In general, the term “detectable isused when a result of an action, such as addition of a compound in anassay step, is observable, particularly by physical means, such as acolor change.

A “target gene” refers to a polynucleotide, often derived from abiological sample, to which an oligonucleotide probe is designed tospecifically hybridize. It is either the presence or absence of thetarget polynucleotide that is to be detected, or the amount of thetarget polynucleotide that is to be quantified. The targetpolynucleotide has a sequence that is complementary to thepolynucleotide sequence of the corresponding probe directed to thetarget. The target polynucleotide may also refer to the specificsubsequence of a larger polynucleotide to which the probe is directed orto the overall sequence (e.g., gene or mRNA) whose expression level itis desired to detect.

A “target protein” refers to an polypeptide, often derived from abiological sample, to which a protein-capture agent specificallyhybridizes or binds. It is either the presence or absence of the targetprotein that is to be detected, or the amount of the target protein thatis to be quantified. The target protein has a structure that isrecognized by the corresponding protein-capture agent directed to thetarget. The target protein or amino acid may also refer to the specificsubstructure of a larger protein to which the protein-capture agent isdirected or to the overall structure (e.g., gene or mRNA) whoseexpression level it is desired to detect.

The term “complementary” refers to the topological compatibility ormatching together of the interacting surfaces of a probe molecule andits target. The target and its probe can be described as complementary,and furthermore, the contact surface characteristics are complementaryto each other. Hybridization or base pairing between nucleotides ornucleic acids, such as, for example, between the two strands of adouble-stranded DNA molecule or between an oligonucleotide probe and atarget are complementary.

The term “background” refers to non-specific binding or otherinteractions between, for example, polynucleotides, polypeptides, smallmolecules and polypeptides, or small molecules and polynucleotides.“Background” may also refer to the non-specific binding or otherinteractions in the context of assays including immunoassays.

In the context of microarrays, the term “background” refers tohybridization signals resulting from non-specific binding, or otherinteractions, between the labeled target polynucleotides and componentsof the oligonucleotide microarray (e.g., the oligonucleotide probes,control probes, the microarray support) or between target proteins andthe protein-binding agents of a protein microarray. Background signalsmay also be produced by intrinsic fluorescence of the microarraycomponents themselves. A single background signal may be calculated forthe entire microarray, or a different background signal may becalculated for each target polynucleotide or target protein. Thebackground may be calculated as the average hybridization signalintensity, or where a different background signal is calculated for eachtarget gene or target protein. Alternatively, background may becalculated as the average hybridization signal intensity produced byhybridization to probes that are not complementary to any sequence foundin the sample (e.g., probes directed to polynucleotides of the oppositesense or to genes not found in the sample such as bacterial genes wherethe sample is mammalian polynucleotides). The background can also becalculated as the average signal intensity produced by regions of themicroarray which lack any probes or protein-binding agents at all.

A “small molecule” comprises a compound or molecular complex, eithersynthetic, naturally derived, or partially synthetic, composed ofcarbon, hydrogen, oxygen, and nitrogen, which may also contain otherelements, and which may have a molecular weight of less than about 100to about 15,000 Daltons, or less than about 15,000, less than about14,000, less than about 13,000, less than about 12,000, less than about11,000, less than about 10,000, less than about 9,000, less than about8,000, less than about 7,000, less than about 6,000, less than about5,000, less than about 4,000, less than about 3,000, less than about2,000, less than about 1,000, less than about 900, less than about 800,less than about 700, less than about 600, less than about 500, less thanabout 400, less than about 300, less than about 200, or less than about100.

The term “fusion protein” refers to a protein composed of two or morepolypeptides that, although typically not joined in their native state,are joined by their respective amino and carboxyl termini through apeptide linkage to form a single continuous polypeptide. It isunderstood that the two or more polypeptide components can either bedirectly joined or indirectly joined through a peptide linker/spacer.

The term “normal physiological conditions” means conditions that aretypical inside a living organism or a cell. Although some organs ororganisms provide extreme conditions, the intra-organismal andintra-cellular environment normally varies around pH 7 (i.e., from pH6.5 to pH 7.5), contains water as the predominant solvent, and exists ata temperature above 0° C. and below 50° C. The concentration of varioussalts depends on the organ, organism, cell, or cellular compartment usedas a reference.

The term “cluster” refers to a group of clones or biomolecular sequencesrelated to one another by sequence homology. In one example, clustersare formed based upon a specified degree of homology and/or overlap(e.g., stringency). “Clustering” may be performed with the sequencedata. For instance, a biomolecular sequence thought to be associatedwith a particular molecular or biological activity in one tissue mightbe compared against another library or database of sequences. This typeof search is useful to look for homologous, and presumably functionallyrelated, sequences in other tissues or samples, and may be used tostreamline the methods of the present invention in that clustering maybe used within one or more of the databases to cluster biomolecularsequences prior to performing a method of the invention. The sequencesshowing sufficient homology with the representative sequence areconsidered part of a “cluster.” Such “sufficient” homology may varywithin the needs of one skilled in the art.

As used herein, the term “internal database” refers to a databasemaintained within a local computer network. It contains, for example,biomolecular sequences associated with a project. It may also containinformation associated with sequences including, but not limited to, alibrary in which a given sequence is found and descriptive informationabout a likely gene associated with the sequence. The internal databasemay typically be maintained as a private database behind a firewallwithin an enterprise network. However, the invention is not limited toonly this embodiment and an internal database could be made available tothe public. The internal database may include sequence data generated bythe same enterprise that maintains the database, and may also includesequence data obtained from external sources.

The term “external database,” as understood herein, refers to a databaselocated outside all internal databases. Typically, an enterprise networkdiffering from the enterprise network maintaining the internal databasewill maintain an external database. The external database may be used,for example, to provide some descriptive information on biomolecularsequences stored in the internal database. In one embodiment, theexternal database is GenBank and associated databases maintained by theNational Center for Biotechnology Information (NCBI), part of theNational Library of Medicine.

Example 1 General Synthetic, Purification, Characterization, andSpectroscopic Procedures

General Synthetic Procedures. Room temperature is defined as an ambienttemperature range, typically 20-25° C. An ice bath (crushed ice/water)temperature is defined as a range, typically −5 to 0° C. Temperature atreflux is defined as ±15° C. of the boiling point of the primaryreaction solvent. Overnight is defined as a time range of 8-16 hours.Vacuum filtration (water aspirator) is defined as range of 5-15 mm Hg.Dried under vacuum is defined as using a high vacuum pump as a range of0.1-5 mm Hg. Neutralization is defined as a typical acid-basedneutralization method and measured to a pH 6-8 range using pH-indicatingpaper. Brine is defined as a saturated aqueous sodium chloride. Nitrogenatmosphere is defined as positive static pressure of nitrogen gas passedthrough a Drierite column with an oil bubbler system. Concentratedammonium hydroxide is defined as an approximately 15 M solution.

All eluents for column or thin layer chromatography were prepared andreported as volume:volume (v:v) solutions, and HPLC eluent ratios arev:v ratios. Aqueous sodium hydroxide or sodium bicarbonate solutionswere prepared as weight:volume (w:v) ratios. Aqueous hydrochloric acidsolutions were prepared as v:v ratios.

The quantities of solvents and/or reagents used for reaction work-up orproduct isolation are those typically used by one trained in the art oforganic chemical synthesis, and the quantity of these solvents and/orreagents used is determined based upon synthetic experience andappropriateness to the specific reaction. For example: 1) crushed icequantity ranged from about 10-1000 g depending on reaction scale, 2)silica gel quantity used in column chromatography depended on materialquantity, complexity of mixture, and size of chromatography columnemployed and ranged from about 5-1000 g, 3) extraction solvent volumeranged from about 10-500 mL depending on reaction size, 4) washesemployed in compound isolation ranged from about 10-100 mL of solvent oraq reagent depending on scale of reaction 5) drying reagents (potassiumcarbonate, sodium carbonate or magnesium sulfate) ranged from about5-100 g depending on the amount of solvent to be dried and its watercontent.

Melting points were measured against a mercury thermometer and are notcorrected.

For column chromatography employing concentrated ammonium hydroxide aspart of the mobile phase, the fractions collected from the column weredried over sodium sulfate, potassium carbonate or a mixture of both.Then the organic layer was filtered by gravity or vacuum to remove thedrying agent prior to concentration/evaporation.

Spectroscopic and Other Instrumental Procedures.

NMR. The ¹H and ¹³C NMR spectra described herein were obtained usingVarian INOVA600 (600 MHz), Varian UNITY600 (600 MHz), or Varian 400 (400MHz) spectrometers. Spectrometer field strength and NMR solvent used fora particular sample are indicated in the Examples, or on any NMR spectraactually shown as Figures. Typically, ¹H NMR chemical shifts arereported as δ values in parts per million (ppm) downfield fromtetramethylsilane (TMS) (δ=0 ppm) as an internal standard, and ¹³C NMRchemical shifts are reported in ppm downfield from TMS and referencedwith respect to the CDCl₃ signal center line (δ=77.0 ppm). Solid orliquid samples were dissolved in an appropriate NMR solvent (CDCl₃ orDMSO-d₆), placed in a NMR sample tube, and data were collected accordingto the spectrometer instructional manuals. Most samples were analyzed inVariable Temperature mode, typically at about 55° C., though some datafor some samples were collected with the probe at ambient temperature.NMR data were processed using NUTS: NMR Utility Transform Software (LiteVersion-20011128) by Acorn NMR.

LC-MS. The Liquid Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry (LC-MS)instrumentation used to examine the compounds of the present inventionwas typically a quadrupole/time-of-flight mass spectrometer, withelectrospray ionization (ESI). For example, the typical LC-MSinstrumentation used was a Micromass Q-Tof using electrospray ionization(ESI). This instrument is a quadrupole/time-of-flight mass spectrometercapable of mass resolution up to m/z of about 7500. Samples wereintroduced in a direct injection mode by first dissolving and dilutingthe sample in methanol or acetonitrile and injecting the sample solutioninto the ESI source via a 10 μL loop Rheodyne injection valve. Thecarrier solvent was typically a mixture of 70% CH₃CN or MeOH and 30% H₂O(v:v), containing about 0.1% formic acid. Accurate mass analyses wereperformed in a similar fashion except for using a multipoint masscalibration with the same instrument under high mass resolutionconditions. Samples were spiked with an appropriate internal massreference compound, as known by one of ordinary skill, and analyzed asdescribed above.

Example 2 General Methods for Parallel Synthesis

Examples 3-5 describe the synthetic procedures for the preparation ofthe “library” of N²,N⁴,N⁶-tris(amino)-1,3,5-triazines which was preparedbased on the strategy of changing only one pendant amino group persynthesis, and based on the parent structure 95 shown below, where eachcompound in the library contains two of the pendant groups in 95.

The library was divided into three subgroups, and all three subgroupsare presented in Table 2. Library I (compounds 1-50) includes compoundshaving unchanged cycloheptylamino and[(1-ethyl-2-pyrrolidinyl)methyl]amino substituents, with various groupsbeing permuted at the remaining triazine amino position, prepared byMethod A as presented in Example 3. Library II (compounds 51-75)includes compounds having unchanged[(1-ethyl-2-pyrrolidinyl)methyl]amino and(3-fluoro-4-methoxyphenyl)amino substituents, with various groups beingpermuted at the remaining triazine amino position, prepared by Method Bas presented in Example 4. Library III (Compounds 76-100) includescompounds having unchanged (3-fluoro-4-methoxyphenyl)amino andcycloheptylamino substituents, with various groups being permuted at theremaining triazine amino position, prepared by Method C as described inExample 5. Thus, the combination of the specific amines employedproduced a library of compounds of novel composition. The sequence inwhich each monomer is added to form the compounds of the library is alsopresented in Table 2, because the Monomer 1 amine is added first,Monomer 2 amine added second, and Monomer 3 amine is added third.

The following reaction scheme represents a proposed and alternativesynthetic routes to 1,3,5-triazines.

This scheme represents a modification of the synthetic route describedin the patent to prepare the tris-amino substituted 1,3,5-triazines.Alternative leaving groups, X, could be used as compared to cyanuricchloride (X=Cl) in the S_(N)Ar reaction with a sequential addition of anucleophilic amine in the presence of an acid (proton) scavenger toafford the tris-substituted 1,3,5-triazine with the desired combinationof amino groups.

Example 76 Alternative Synthetic Route to Tris(amino) 1,3,5-TriazineCompounds

The following reaction scheme represents a proposed and alternativesynthetic routes to 1,3,5-triazines.

This scheme represents a modification of the synthetic route describedin the patent text to prepare the tris-amino substituted1,3,5-triazines. Bases, including excess amine reagent R₂NH, could beused as acid (proton) scavengers alternatively to the Hünig's base(iPr₂NEt) used routinely in our procedure. These bases can include otherorganic tertiary amine bases or ionic, inorganic bases. One can usestrong bases (NaH, KH, or RLi) to first deprotonate the amino monomerbefore addition to the cyanuric-X substrate. Additionally, one can use asolid supported base (e.g., resin-NR₂, a modified Hünig's base) as aproton scavenger. This potentially enables an easier isolation procedureand cleaner reaction products. Logically, one would use the appropriatesolvent or combination of solvents that is compatible with the base ofchoice for this procedure.

Example 77 Alternative Synthetic Route to Tris(amino) 1,3,5-TriazineCompounds

The following reaction scheme represents a proposed and alternativesynthetic routes to 1,3,5-triazines.

This scheme represents a modification of the synthetic route describedin the patent to prepare the tris-amino substituted 1,3,5-triazines.Using melamine as the starting material, the method outlined wouldinvolve three sequential reductive amination procedures. With control ofaddition, temperature, and pH, the choice of aldehydes or ketone, onecan prepare tris-amino substituted triazines with the desiredcombination of amino groups.

Example 78 Alternative Synthetic Route to Tris(amino) 1,3,5-TriazineCompounds

The following reaction scheme represents a proposed and alternativesynthetic routes to 1,3,5-triazines.

This scheme represents a solid phase synthetic approach to preparingsymmetrically or asymmetrically substituted tris-amino substituted1,3,5-triazines. The resin should possess a readily cleavable linkergroup (L) and a leaving group (G) for attachment of an amino group. Thescheme outlines the synthesis by initially attaching a simple aminogroup, NH₂, by reacting the resin with ammonia. Using standard, S_(N)ARchemistry for substitution of a perhalogenated 1,3,5-triazine, thetriazine can be attached to the aminated resin. Sequential substitutionsof the halogens on the triazine core with functionalized amines in thepresence of an acid scavenger will produce the desired di-aminosubstituted 1,3,5-triazine. Cleavage of the triazine from the resintether will afford the tris-amino substituted triazine product. The freeNH₂ moiety of the triazine can be further alkylated or functionalizedusing standard chemistry such reductive amination or N-alkylation togive a completely functionalized tris-amino substituted 1,3,5-triazine.

Example 79 Alternative Synthetic Route to Tris(amino) 1,3,5-TriazineCompounds

The following reaction schemes (Schemes A and B) represent proposed andalternative synthetic routes to 1,3,5-triazines.

These schemes represent variations on using the Suzuki coupling tosynthesize tris-amino substituted 1,3,5-triazines. As illustrated inScheme A, one can sequentially react the amino groups of melamine withan alkyl or aryl boronic acid derivative in the presence of theappropriate palladium catalyst, additives and solvent to afford thesymmetric or asymmetric tris-amino substituted 1,3,5-triazines similarto previously described examples. In Scheme B, a tris-boronic acid1,3,5-triazine can be prepared from cyanuric chloride or bromide. Thisderivative can then be coupled with an aryl or alkyl amine, asillustrated in previous amine monomer descriptions, in the presence ofthe appropriate metal catalysts (e.g., Cu or Pd catalyst), additives andsolvent to afford the symmetric or asymmetric tris-amino substituted1,3,5-triazines.

Example 80 Proteoglycan Induction

Smooth muscle cells reach quiescence during serum starvation resultingin a blockade of DNA synthesis. To demonstrate the role of perlecan(proteoglycan example) in SMC quiescence, cells were starved by removingserum from the media. The cells used in this Example and the otherexamples herein were human aortic SMC, grown in basal mediumsupplemented with growth factors, bFGF and epidermal growth factor (EGF)(Clonetics, San Diego, Calif.).

SMC secretion of total PGs (proteoglycans) as well as perlecan weredetermined in the presence or absence of one or more compounds of thepresent invention. PGs were radiolabeled with (³⁵S)sulfate by incubatingthe cells with (³⁵S)sulfate for 2 to 6 hours. Media PGs were collectedand purified by DEAE-cellulose chromatography. Cell-associated PGs wereassessed by extracting cells with 50 mM Tris buffer pH 7.4 containing 4M urea, 1% Triton X-100, 0.1 mM EDTA and 1 mM PMSF. Aqueous solutions of(³⁵S)sulfate and (³H)leucine were from Amersham. Control cells have noadded compounds whereas treated cells have one or more compounds of thepresent invention added.

To determine changes in PG levels, DEAE-cellulose chromatography wasperformed. A DEAE-cellulose column was equilibrated with 50 mM Trisbuffer pH 7.4 containing 4 M urea, 0.1 M NaCl, 0.1 mM EDTA, 1 mM PMSFand 1% 3[(3-cholamidopropyl)dimethylammonio]-1-propanesulfonate (CHAPS).The column was washed with the same buffer and buffer containing 0.25 MNaCl and PG were eluted with the same buffer containing 0.5 M NaCl.Fractions containing radioactivity (³⁵SO₄) were pooled and dialyzedagainst MEM overnight and counted.

To determine the relative proportion of HSPG and chondroitinsulfate/dermatan sulfate proteoglycan (CS/DS PG), an aliquot of thepooled fraction was incubated in 50 mM sodium acetate buffer pH 5.2 with1 unit/ml each of heparanase and heparitinase or with 0.5 units ofchondroitin ABC lyase for 16 h at 37° C. Chondroitan ABC refers todifferent isomeric types of chondroitin, e.g. chondroitin A, chondroitinB, and chondroitin C. The reaction mixture was precipitated either with0.5 volumes of 1% cetyl pyridinium chloride or with 3 volumes of ethanolto precipitate undigested glycosaminoglycans. Radioactivity in thesupernatant and pellet was determined.

To determine changes in perlecan protein in response to the presence ofa compound, cells were grown in serum-free or serum-containing media inthe presence of (³H)leucine for 24 h (steady state). Cells were platedat low density (8×10⁴/well in 48 well plate, 30-40% confluency) andcultured for 24 h (hour). Wells were then replenished with fresh mediumcontaining no serum or 10% fetal bovine serum (FBS). Following another24 h incubation, cells were labeled with (³H)thymidine for 6 h andradioactivity incorporated into the DNA was determined bytrichloroacetic acid (TCA) precipitation of the cell lysate.(³H)thymidine was from NEN. Purified PG (0.5 M eluate) wereimmunoprecipitated by incubation with an anti-perlecan antibody(100-fold diluted) followed by precipitation with Protein A-Sepharose.Immunoprecipitates were analyzed by 5% SDS-PAGE. Perlecan (Mr>550 kDa)was identified by autoradiography. Control cells have no addedcompound(s) whereas treated cells have one or more compounds of thepresent invention added.

Example 81 Inhibition of Smooth Muscle Cell Proliferation

Purified perlecan from SMC medium by DEAE-cellulose chromatography wasobtained using methods in Example I, and was tested for itsantiproliferative effects on SMC.

The addition of perlecan to serum-containing medium inhibited SMC growthby 70%. Sub-confluent SMC (40-50% confluence) were incubated inserum-free medium or 10% serum-containing medium with or withoutpurified perlecan for 24 h. DNA synthesis was then determined byincubating cells for another 5 h in medium containing (³H)thymidine. TCAprecipitable (DNA) thymidine counts were determined and expressed aspercentage of DNA synthesis in cells grown in 10% FBS.

This assay can be used to show the effect of a compound on perlecandirectly by incubating the compound to perlecan first, then performingthe assay. Alternatively, the cells can be pretreated with at least onecompound of the present invention to show indirect effects. Controlcells have no added compounds whereas treated cells have one or morecompounds of the present invention added.

Example 82 Triazine Compounds in Smooth Muscle Cell Proliferation Assay

Human aortic smooth muscle cells (Clonetics) were used. Cells were grownin basal medium containing 5% fetal bovine serum supplemented withgrowth factors, basic fibroblast growth factor, epidermal growth factorand insulin. To determine the effects triazine compounds of the presentinvention had on SMC proliferation, cells were plated at low density(4000 cell per well in a 96 well plate) and cultured for 24 h. The cellswere then serum starved for 24 h to induce quiescence. Fresh growthmedium containing no compound or 10 μM compound was then added andfurther incubated for 24 h. Cell number was determined by using a cellproliferation assay kit (Celltiter96 AQ_(ueous) from Promega).

The effects of different triazine compounds on smooth muscle cellproliferation are shown in FIG. 53. Many of the triazine compoundsinhibited SMC proliferation by greater than 70%.

Example 83 Induction and Measurement of Endothelial Heparanase Protein

Experiments were carried out on human microvascular endothelial cells(HMVEC) grown in 48-well plates (˜90% confluency). To induce heparanaseactivity, culture media was replaced with 200 μl Dulbecco's ModifiedEagle's medium (DMEM) complemented with 1% bovine serum albumin (BSA)and with or without stimulants (5 ng/ml TGF-alpha, 1 ng/ml IL 1alpha,200 ng/ml VEGF or other stimulants, cytokines, or inducers as required).The secreted proteins were analyzed by SDS/PAGE and heparanase proteinwas detected by immunoblotting using polyclonal anti-human heparanaseantibody. The changes of heparanase expression determined bydensitometric analysis. The induction and measurement of endothelialheparanase protein reported in the Tables herein were carried outaccording to this Example.

Example 84 Preparation of Biotinylated HS

Heparan sulfate (HS) was biotinylated using biotin with extended spacerarms using succinimidyl-6-(biotinamido)hexanoate (NHS-LC-Biotin)obtained from Pierce. About 0.5 ml HS solution (2 mg/ml in NaHCO3, pH8.5) was mixed with 0.05 ml of a freshly prepared solution ofNHS-LC-Biotin in dimethyl sulfoxide. The mixture was incubated at roomtemperature for 1 hour. Unconjugated biotin was removed bycentrifugation (10,000 RPM) through Microcon-3 filter (Millipore)followed by dilution with phosphate buffered saline (PBS). Thisprocedure was repeated five times to ensure complete removal of freebiotin. Unwanted aldehydes in the reaction were then quenched byincubation with one milliliter of Tris-glycine buffer (25 mM-183 mM, pH8.3) at room temperature for 20 minutes. The mixture was subjected tothree rounds of microfiltration as described above. Biotinylated HS (5mg/ml in PBS) was aliquoted and stored at −20° C. To obtain maximumbiotinylation, a 25-fold molar excess of biotin was used. Using HABAreagent, it was determined that the ratio of HS to biotin was 1:2.

The extent of biotinylation of HS was determined using Avidin-HABA(Pierce Chemical Co). The HABA assay can be used over a wide range of pHand salt concentrations. HABA (4-hydroxyazobenzene-2′-carboxylic acid)is a dye that binds to avidin and can serve as an indicator ofunoccupied binding sites. Avidin combines stoichiometrically withbiotin, making it possible to use any physiochemical differences betweenavidin and the avidin-biotin complex as the basis of a qualitative andquantitative assay method for either component.

When HABA binds to avidin, there is a large spectral change in the HABAdye. A new absorption band appears at 500 nm, which is characteristic ofthe quinoid form of the dye. The avidin-biotin complex does not bindHABA and because the dissociation constant of the complex is so low, thedye is stoichiometrically displaced by biotin. Consequently, the HABAassay can be the basis of both colorimetric and titrimetric assays. Theamount of avidin can be calculated directly from the increasedabsorbance at 500 nm, or the dye may be used as an indicator in aspectrophotometric titration with biotin.

The absorption band that results from the avidin-HABA complex decreasesproportionately when biotin is added. Since biotin has such a highaffinity for avidin, it displaces the HABA dye. The unknown amount ofbiotin can be determined by preparing a standard curve using knownamounts of biotin to displace the HABA which bound to avidin, andplotting against the absorbance at 500 mu.

HABA solution was prepared by adding 24.2 mg of HABA (Pierce) to 9.9 mlH₂O, and then adding 0.1 ml 1 M NaOH. Avidin-HABA reagent was preparedby adding 10 mg of avidin and 600 gl of HABA solution to 19.4 ml ofphosphate buffered saline. To 1 ml of Avidin-HABA reagent in a cuvette,100 μl of biotinylated HS was added, and the optical density wasmeasured at 500 nm in a spectrophotometer. A standard curve wasdetermined using known amounts of HABA. The decrease in optical densityof the HABA following the addition of biotinylated HS was determined.

Example 85 Heparanase Assay

Biotin-labeled HS made as described above was digested with heparanase,under both control and treated conditions, and the reaction containingundegraded and degraded HS was bound to in a biotin-binding plate.Streptavidin, conjugated with an enzyme, was added to the binding plate.Quantitation of the color reaction measured the amount of availablebiotin binding sites. A decrease in color from a known amount reflectsHS digestion by heparanase. Control conditions have no added compound ofthe present invention, and treated conditions have compounds of thepresent invention added.

A lyophilized powder of heparanase (heparanase III obtained fromSeikagaku) containing 0.1 units of enzymatic activity was hydrated in100 μl of Reaction Buffer (3.33 mM calcium acetate pH 7.0, containing0.1 mg/ml BSA). This solution was then diluted to a workingconcentration of heparanase solution (0.01 micro-units to 1 milli-unit)in Reaction Buffer. Enzyme activity was defined by the manufacturer ofthe heparanase (Seikagaku) as follows: one unit of enzyme activity isdefined as amount required to generate 1 micromole of hexuronic acid perminute. Biotin-HS was diluted to a desired concentration in ReactionBuffer.

To determine heparanase activity, 10 μl of heparanase solution, with orwithout at least one of the compounds of the present invention, wasmixed with 200 μl of the biotin-HS substrate in a 96 well plate. Thereaction was incubated at 43° C. for 1 hour. One hundred microliters ofthe reaction mixture was added to a hydrated biotin-binding plate(Chemicon) and incubated at 37° C. for 30 minutes. The biotin-bindingplates were hydrated with 200 μl of 1× Assay Buffer (Chemicon). Wellswere washed five times with 1× Assay Buffer and incubated with 100 μl of1:3000 diluted Streptavidin-Enzyme Conjugate (Chemicon) for 30 minutesat 37° C. The wells were washed five times with 1× Assay Buffer andincubated for 20 minutes with 100 μl of Substrate Solution (Chemicon).Color development in the wells was assessed by measuring the opticaldensity at 450 nm in a microplate reader (Labsystems, Muliskan Ascentmodel). Differences between the control and the treated conditionsindicate the heparanase modulating activity of the added compound orcompounds.

Example 86 AGE-Induced Inflammatory Response Determined by IL-6 ELISA

Glycated human serum albumin(G-HSA) was from US Biologicals. Tumor necrosis factor α was from R&DSystems.

Endothelial cells were treated with control medium or medium containing10 to 100 ng/ml TNF-α or 300 μg/ml glycated-HAS (treated cells ortreatments) for 24 hrs, in control and compound-added duplicates,containing 10 μM compound. All treatments, compound-added and controlswere carried out in serum free media containing 0.2% albumin. Media fromall conditions were collected and used for IL-6 ELISA.

An appropriate number of cells are plated in four 96-well plates, oneplate for “day 0” and three plates for days 1-3. Cells are treated withat least one compound of the present invention in varyingconcentrations. The negative control cells have normal media conditions,a duplicate set of wells is treated with the composition in which thecompound is provided, but there is no added compound and the positivecontrol cells are treated with the apoptosis inducer cisplatin (2 μM).All of the cells are transfected with a vector having a promoter that isresponsive to apoptosis conditions. When apoptosis occurs, the promoteris turned on and the lactic dehydrogenase gene is activated and theenzyme protein is made and active. Activity is easily detected with acolor change. After transfection, the plates are incubated at 37° C.overnight.

About 8 mls of warmed alpha MEM LDH lysis buffer (2% Triton X100) andabout 8 mls of culture media (1/2 dilution) are combined. Two 96-wellv-bottom plates are prepared, one labeled “lysis” and one labeled“supernatant.” To lyse the cells, about 200 μl Alpha MEM lysis buffer(diluted 1/2) is added to one test plate from which the supernatant hasbeen removed and added to the plate labeled supernatant. After mixing,about 200 μl of lysed cells are transferred to the lysis plate. Both thelysis and supernatant plates are centrifuged at about 1600 rpm for about10 min. After centrifugation, about 100 μl of both the supernatant orlysate is transferred to corresponding 96-well flat-bottomed plates.

The assay for cytotoxicity uses the Cytotoxicity Detection Kit (LDH)from Roche Diagnostics Corp. (Indianapolis, Ind.). Using the directiontsprovided, the dye solution is mixed and added each well of the lysateand supernatant plate and incubated for up to 20-25 min at 15-25° C. inthe dark.

The difference in the amount of lactate dehydrogenase released fromcells in untreated cells when compared to cells treated with cisplatinor compounds of the present invention having cytoxic activity shows thecytotoxic activity of the compounds tested.
